Rick Moranis is officially back in the game, making a surprise Comic-Con appearance to promote Spaceballs: The New One — the long-awaited sequel to the classic Star Wars spoof. Donning the iconic Dark Helmet hat, Moranis, who hasn’t starred in a live-action film since 1997, revealed he returned because the timing felt right — especially with Bill Pullman and his son Lewis also joining the cast. The studio, Amazon MGM, confirmed the film’s September 25, 2025 release, with Mel Brooks (now 100) and Pullman sending video messages. Moranis shared he hadn’t seen Brooks in nearly 40 years, but the legendary filmmaker kept nudging him to make another Spaceballs every time a new Star Wars hit theaters. The movie, set for a 2027 theatrical debut, is a major moment for fans who grew up with Moranis’s legendary comedy.
