Mel Brooks to make appearance in new Spaceballs movie
The icon of comedy is reporising his role of Yogurt in the upcoming confirmed sequel to Spaceballs.
Brooks, who turns 99 later this month, co-wrote, directed and starred in the 1987 original which spoofed the Star Wars franchise among other films.
The new version has been championed by Olaf himself, Josh Gad, who will write the sequel.
“I told you we’d be back,” Brooks wrote in a Bluesky post on Thursday.
Last year it was announced that a follow-up was in development at Amazon-MGM with Brooks producing and Josh Gad co-writing and potentially starring.
