After years of rumors, the sequel to the legendary parody of Star Wars is finally entering production. Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to return as Dark Helmet.
Mel Brooks, at 98 years old, is also returning, alongside Bill Pullman and a new addition: Keke Palmer. The premiere is set for 2027.
Rick Moranis returns as Dark Helmet
The big surprise is the return of Rick Moranis, who spent decades away from acting. His return to the screen as the clumsy villain Dark Helmet excites fans of absurd comedy.
The actor had left Hollywood in the 1990s for personal reasons, so his participation was uncertain. However, the production managed to convince him.
Mel Brooks and Bill Pullman are also joining
Mel Brooks, creator and soul of the saga, will reprise his role as Yogurt, a parody of Yoda. At 98 years old, he shows that his sense of humor remains intact.
