13 june 2025 в 17:13
We are right in the middle of the era of prequels, sequels, and reboots, because the 1980s called and wanted «Spaceballs» to come back. The original MGM production was released in 1987 and, despite initially not being successful, became a cult film. Now, with «Spaceballs 2» announced, original fans are dying to know when it will be released in theaters or on a streaming service!
Get all the details we know so far about the sequel «Spaceballs» below.
The fantastic film of 1987 is a parody of several space franchises, primarily the «Star Wars» trilogy. It also mocks popular films such as «Star Trek», - «Alien», - «2001: A Space Odyssey», - «Planet of the Apes», - «Transformers», - and even «The Wizard of Oz».
«Spaceballs» takes place on the planet Spaceball, ruled by the idiotic President Skroob. Skroob has exhausted all the fresh air on the planet and forced citizens to rely on «Perri-air». Therefore, he orders Dark Helmet to kidnap Princess Vespa from the oxygen-rich Druidia to hold her hostage in exchange for fresh air. But when Lone Starr and his «mog» (half-man, half-dog) sidekick, Barf, show up, they have a chance to save her.
As of now, «Spaceballs 2» is scheduled for release in 2027, but the specific day has not been determined yet.
The original «Spaceballs» is currently available to watch on HBO Max. It is unclear whether MGM plans to release the sequel in theaters or through streaming, for example, on Prime Video.
The full cast of «Spaceballs» is extensive, but the main actors are Bill Pullman as Lone Starr, John Candy as Barf, Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa, Joan Rivers as the voice of Dot Matrix, Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, Mel Brooks as both President Skroob and Yogurt.
Each character from «Spaceballs» is a direct parody of several Star Wars characters — Lone Starr is Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, Barf is Chewbacca, Princess Vespa is Princess Leia, Dot Matrix is C-3PO, Dark Helmet is Darth Vader, and Yogurt is Yoda.
Exact plot details for «Spaceballs 2» are not clear yet, but Deadline reported that the sequel will be a «non-prequel, non-reboot, sequel part two, but with elements of rebooting the franchise»
