Episode Details

Rick Moranis, beloved ’80s icon, made a triumphant Comic-Con return with a standing ovation, announcing his comeback for Spaceballs: The New One—a long-awaited sequel that reunites him with Dark Helmet. Stepping away from acting in 1997 to raise his kids after his wife’s passing, Moranis quietly stayed in the spotlight through voice work, but this role felt like the perfect return. Fans, still captivated by his legendary roles from Ghostbusters to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, showed overwhelming love. The film also brings back Bill Pullman and his son Lewis, plus a surprise cameo from 100-year-old Mel Brooks, who’s been pushing for this sequel for years. Moranis joked he’s not retired—just “negotiating”—and the project is set for 2027 release.
