You’ve likely heard the buzz about *Spaceballs 2*! The sequel is officially in the works, with Mel Brooks reprising his role as Yogurt. Josh Gad is co-writing and starring, and Bill Pullman is back as Lone Starr. Even more exciting, Bill’s son, Lewis Pullman, will be joining him in the movie! Lewis recently shared a heartwarming and funny story about getting to act alongside his dad in the sequel to such a beloved parody film.
In a recent interview with IMDbPro, shared via a clip on the platform’s official Instagram account, Lewis Pullman opened up about the surreal and special experience of acting alongside his father who, famously, along with the late John Candy, starred in the original 1987 Mel Brooks comedy. He told the outlet:
I’m incredibly excited! It’s a huge deal for me to collaborate with my dad on a project that was only his second film. It’s a lot to live up to, but thankfully, he’s still involved and leading the way. That means I get to contribute in my own way and do things differently.
The younger Bill Pullman is approaching this project with refreshing modesty. He’s building a strong career with successful films like *Top Gun: Maverick*, *Bad Times at the El Royale*, and the upcoming *Thunderbolts*. As he takes on a role in a movie that helped launch his father’s career decades ago, he’s clearly focused on making the part his own, rather than simply trying to replicate his dad’s iconic performance – though his father still remains the central figure in this story.
Lewis Pullman received the *IMDb* ‘Fan Favorite’ STARmeter Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he also premiered his new film, *The Testament of Ann Lee*. Fans are excited about his latest project – especially after a funny trailer was released hinting at a great pairing. *Spaceballs 2*, which was long considered a possible but unlikely project from Mel Brooks, is now officially happening, and it has support from his family!
Details about the movie’s story are being kept secret, but we have learned a few things. Rick Moranis and Daphne Zuniga are reprising their roles as Dark Helmet and Princess Vespa, and Keke Palmer is joining the cast. Josh Greenbaum will be directing the film.
You can start streaming on HBO Max for as little as $9.99 per month! Enjoy classics like *Spaceballs* and choose from different plans, including a basic option with ads or an annual subscription. Check out the deals available now!
The father-son relationship between the actors brings an extra, clever dimension to *Spaceballs 2*. It’s interesting to imagine Lewis Pullman, who showed his ability to play a convincingly threatening character in *Thunderbolts* , bringing that same intensity to a villain role-maybe something like Kylo Ren. The comedic possibilities are huge, but I’ll let the actual comedians handle the writing!
Mel Brooks is back, and with Josh Gad co-writing and starring alongside the Pullman family, *Spaceballs 2* feels like more than just another sequel-it’s a true continuation of the legacy. I, for one, am incredibly excited!
A sequel to Spaceballs is planned for release in theaters around 2027. In the meantime, you can watch the first Spaceballs movie now on HBO Max.
