Spaceballs: The New One Creators Discuss Mel Brooks' Yogurt CGI and

The Schwartz was stronger than ever in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con. A packed room of thousands of fans cheering on the panel for a sequel nearly 40 years in the making, Spaceballs: The New One.

Rick Moranis made a highly anticipated return to the screen as Dark Helmet, receiving a massive standing ovation. Mel Brooks, unable to attend in person, will reprise his role as Yogurt through CGI, as he couldn't do the makeup anymore. The sequel, inspired by Josh Gad, aims to pay tribute to the late John Candy and other original cast members.

The panel showcased footage from the film, featuring new gags and nods to the original, backed by the iconic Spaceballs theme song. The event also humorously revealed a mock Spaceballs Cinematic Universe slate with titles spanning 11 phases, adding to the anticipation surrounding the sequel.

Moranis expressed his joy in returning to the franchise, hinting at the possibility of more to come, albeit probably not spanning 11 phases like the humorous slate suggested.
