Yes, "Spaceballs" might become a trilogy.


Spaceballs 3 Rumor Hints at Exciting Sequel Update
After Part 2 Announcement
--------------------------------------------------
A new insider report reveals that Spaceballs 3 is already in
development at Amazon MGM Studios. With Spaceballs 2 still set
for a 2027 theatrical release, the early news hints at a larger
franchise expansion. If confirmed, it would mark a surprising
continuation of Mel Brooks' sci-fi parody universe nearly four
decades after the original.

Spaceballs 3 already in works at Amazon MGM Studios
Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing Spaceballs 3,
according to an insider post from MyTimeToShineHello on X
(formerly Twitter), who stated, "MGM already developing a
SPACEBALLS 3." The report surfaced on July 6, 2025, but Amazon
has not yet shared an update regarding the project.

This development follows earlier news about a Spaceballs sequel
featuring original cast members. Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis
are reportedly confirmed to reprise their roles as Lone Starr
and Dark Helmet (via Deadline). Keke Palmer and Lewis Pullman
have also joined the cast in undisclosed roles. Mel Brooks is
returning as Yogurt, the character he portrayed in the 1987
original film.

The upcoming installment is scheduled for theatrical release in
2027. The project is described as "A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot
Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion
Film."

Josh Greenbaum will direct the movie from a screenplay by Benji
Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad. Gad will also star in the
film and serve as a producer alongside Brian Grazer, Ron Howard,
Jeb Brody, Greenbaum and Mel Brooks. Executive producers include
Kevin Salter, Adam Merims, Samit, and Hernandez.

The original Spaceballs, released in 1987 by MGM, was a sci-fi
parody inspired by movies like Star Wars and 2001: A Space
Odyssey. It stars Bill Pullman, Rick Moranis, Mel Brooks, John
Candy, and Daphne Zuniga. Despite its mixed critical reception,
the movie has gained a strong cult following over the years.

Rick Moranis's involvement in Spaceballs 2 marks a rare return to
acting, having largely stepped back from the industry since the
late 1990s. Bill Pullman, meanwhile, continues to work in
television and film, with upcoming roles in The Boroughs and
Famous. Keke Palmer is also set to appear in The Pickup, Good
Fortune, and I Love Boosters later in 2025.

Yeah, right? I can't imagine that a third being great. It may draw a
bunch of old farts like me for nostalgic reasons.

The first one was funny - but - I was in Jr High when it was new and
that's when I last watched it. Rented it, actually.

Last watched it over 30 years ago, high.We also watched 'History of the
World, Part I', rented as well, and all thought it was hilarious.

Wait until they decide to make a worse Prequel Trilogy, and then an
even worse Sequel Trilogy (which is really just a lazy and Politically Correcterised remake of the originals). ;-)

And deepfakes of a young Mel Brooks.

And I am ready for it, honestly. I love Mel Brooks, his goofball humour, his comedies, and if these next two end up being bad, then who
cares, right? It's not like it's a deep emotional breakup, even if that
would be sad. So I go at this with the attitude that we don't have
anything to lose anyway, and the first movie will always stand on it's
own.

That being said, I will miss John Candy very much, and I am really psyched that Rick Moranis actually shows up THIS time. I had such high
hopes that he would at least make a brief appearance in the more recent Ghostbusters movies, and perhaps be married to Janine, but ... yeah.
Legacy was a neat movie, liked it quite a bit, and I was glad that even though Rick wasn't there, at least Weaver made it into an after-credits scene. While I lament that the movie could have given all of them at least
a brief moment together, we are in that same boat with Spaceballs 2 now,
and I hope here they get it right, and that it's just a fun movie with all
of them there, except for John Candy, who I hope will be honored in some
way, even if it's by another actor playing the same role.
