SPACEBALLS 2 Wraps Production and the Stars Share a Photo from the Set
The highly anticipated, nearly 40 years in the making sequel Spaceballs 2 has wrapped production, bringing us one step closer to finally seeing this reunion in theaters!
Daphne Zuniga, who is returning to play Princess Vespa, shared a photo from the film’s wrap party, which features the actress with her co-stars Bill Pullman (Lone Starr), Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet), director Josh Greenbaum, and Josh Gad, who is believed to be playing the son of Barf (the late John Candy).
The legendary Mel Brooks - who celebrated his 99th birthday over the summer - will also reprise his three roles as Yogurt, Zen Yiddish, and President Skroob.
Keke Palmer (Nope) will also star as a character named Destiny, and Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts*) is set to join his father in the sequel as the son of Lone Starr and Princess Vespa, Starburst.
The sequel’s synopsis has not yet been released, but the original movie’s description reads: "In a distant galaxy, planet Spaceball has depleted its air supply, leaving its citizens reliant on a product called ‘Perri-Air.’
In desperation, Spaceball's leader President Skroob (Mel Brooks) orders the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) to kidnap Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) of oxygen-rich Druidia and hold her hostage in exchange for air.
But help arrives for the Princess in the form of renegade space pilot Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog partner, Barf (John Candy)."
Spaceballs 2 is expected to be released in theaters in 2027. Check out the cast photo below:
