Overview
- Speaking at Dragon Con, John Boyega said his phone “hasn’t rung yet” and urged producers to “give me a call” to join the sequel.
- Amazon MGM Studios has not announced a role for Boyega, and no update to the previously named ensemble has been issued.
- Spaceballs 2 is in active development for a planned 2027 theatrical release with Josh Greenbaum directing and Mel Brooks and Josh Gad producing.
- Returning cast include Bill Pullman, Rick Moranis, Daphne Zuniga, and Mel Brooks, with new additions reported to include Lewis Pullman, Keke Palmer, and Josh Gad; Lewis Pullman is set to play Lone Star’s son, Starburst.
- A teaser and press materials pitch the project as a tongue‑in‑cheek “Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film,” as Boyega’s bid draws interest given his Star Wars fame and past critiques of that franchise.
