This time he’ll just be acting, though, with Josh Greenbaum ( Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar) directing from a script by Benji Samit, Dan Hernandez, and Josh Gad. Gad is also expected to star, but that has yet to be officially confirmed.

Judging by its announcement teaser, 'Spaceballs 2" could be gearing up to target an even broader range of targets. The teaser is a send-up of the famous "Star Wars" opening crawl, and it aptly and hilariously sums up the last few decades of science fiction franchises.

A new update reveals that a Thunderbolts* star is in talks to join the cast of Spaceballs 2. The actor, known for his role in the Marvel film, will reunite with his father, who will reprise his role from the original 1987 cult classic.
