Revving Up to Parody the Stars: Spaceballs 2 Promises a Stellar Return!

Did you suddenly feel a ripple in the Schwartz yesterday? That's because the cosmos of Spaceballs fans just experienced an explosion of excitement! The long-anticipated Spaceballs 2 is aiming to catapult onto screens in 2027, and it seems like original cast members Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis might even be rejoining the intergalactic adventure. The person set to weave this hilarious journey through the stars is none other than the brilliant Josh Gad.

But mandrake's your uncle if the surprises ended there! The Spaceballs universe is set to expand even further since we've heard that Keke Palmer has signed on to play a brand-new character. What's more, according to THR, Bill Pullman's real-life son, Lewis Pullman, is in discussions to storm the scene in this sequel as well.

Fans are beyond thrilled about the potential casting of Lewis, known for his starring role in The Thunderbolts, to the point they've already decided on his perfect role – the film's equivalent of Kylo Ren.

As the comments started blasting into cyberspace, one fan summed up our feelings perfectly, "Once somebody says it, it’s difficult to see anything else." With Spaceballs 2 expected to draw inspiration from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, a Kylo Ren-inspired character is almost inevitable. And who better to play the son of Lone Starr (Bill Pullman’s Han Solo-esque character) than his real-life prodigy?

The thought of Lewis Pullman embodying a moody teen throwing a cosmic tantrum already has us snickering. The Top Gun: Maverick star’s resemblance to Bill Pullman isn't the only thing making him a stellar choice; certain parallels to Adam Driver could create a whole new level of parody brilliance.

Now let's cross our fingers that rumors of Rick Moranis’ return are true, because a hilarious face-off between parody versions of Kylo Ren and Darth Vader is tantalizingly close to becoming a reality.

While the 2027 release date might still seem light-years away, at least we can find solace in the gathered constellation of talent lined up for this sequel. Now comes the real question, which title are we leaning toward: Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money or Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2? Set phasers to fun and let speculation commence!
