The original “Spaceballs” was a beloved 1987 parody of sci-fi franchises like “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” and “Alien,” featuring a memorable cast including Bill Pullman, John Candy, and Rick Moranis. Plot details for the sequel are still under wraps, but with the combined talents of Gad, Brooks, and the writing duo behind “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” fans can expect a hilarious and irreverent continuation of the “Spaceballs” legacy.

Gad, known for his roles in “Frozen” and “The Book of Mormon,” is currently enjoying a career renaissance, with his upcoming directorial debut in a Chris Farley biopic and a recent Broadway run in “Gutenberg! The Musical!” alongside Andrew Rannells. Brooks, a comedy legend with EGOT status, has also been active recently, having written and produced “History of the World, Part II” in 2023.

This exciting news promises a fresh dose of intergalactic laughter for fans of the original “Spaceballs,” and further solidifies the enduring legacy of Mel Brooks’ comedic genius.
