May the Schwartz be with you!
Mel Brooks confirmed Thursday that he’s returning as Yogurt in the upcoming “Spaceballs” sequel, set to hit theaters in 2027.
The 98-year-old actor shared the news of the second film with a message that began with the infamous “Star Wars” opening crawl.
“Thirty-eight years ago, there was only one ‘Star Wars’ trilogy,” the message began.
“But since then, there have been …” the text continued, followed by a list of movie franchises including the “Star Wars” prequels and sequels, “Dune,” “Jurassic Park,” “Avatar,” “Harry Potter,” “Alien” and, as the message joked, “36 MCU movies with two different Robert Downey Jr.’s.”
“But in 38 years there has only ever been one … SPACEBALLS,” the opening crawl added, followed by, “Until now..”
A video message then popped up of Brooks saying, “After 40 years we asked what do the fans want, but instead, we’re making this movie.”
“May the Schwartz be with you!” the EGOT winner added.
