‘Spaceballs: The New One’ Just Had a Joyous, Hilarious Comic-Con Panel
Spaceballs: The New One is not coming to us at Ludicrous speed. The sequel won’t be in theaters until April 23, 2027, but the cast and crew still decided that this week, at San Diego Comic-Con, was the time to get the hype train rolling. After a hilarious video introduction from Mel Brooks himself, the panel began with an introduction of the cast, minus one major person: Rick Moranis.
