It’s been long considered a fantasy by fans, but finally, the making of Spaceballs 2 is underway! Josh Gad and Mel Brooks are teaming up to produce it. The project was confirmed back in 2024, but with a humorous teaser for a sequel recently revealed, the idea of another installment in Brooks’ quirky space saga feels more tangible than ever. Fans have shown their excitement over this prospect, and one fan went as far as designing a fake popcorn bucket for the movie – I just adore that creative tribute!
There’s been a trend lately with popcorn buckets, as different film studios are designing unique containers that match their movies. It seems like the release of Dune: Part Two might have started this fad of fancy snack boxes. Although we won’t see the official bucket for Spaceballs 2, which is set to premiere in 2027, thanks to a user named Rudy A, fans already have an idea of what it could resemble. Check out the picture that was posted:
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could transform the design of the Eagle 5, the spacecraft from Spaceballs, into a popcorn bucket for real? The idea of enjoying my snacks in a container shaped like Lone Starr and Barf’s starship while watching a movie at the theater sounds delightful. I believe that such an item could potentially catch the attention of Amazon MGM Studios and might even be worth considering.
Additionally, another intriguing idea comes to mind: What if we designed a set of Starballs-themed kitchen utensils? Imagine whipping up a meal with a Yogurt-o-Matic spoon or serving dinner with the Schwartz Beamer ladle! These items could bring a touch of humor and nostalgia into everyday cooking.
A more evident option would be designing a popcorn bucket modeled after the distinctive helmet of Lord Dark Helmet from the 1987 film. This idea is not as outlandish as the concept of an Eagle 5 bucket, considering that recently, a Darth Vader-inspired helmet-shaped bucket was launched to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.” Amazon, MGM, and cinema chains, there’s potential profit in manufacturing these unique buckets.
As a fan who’s thrilled beyond words, let me tell you that the very idea of Spaceballs 2 coming to life is simply exhilarating! For those not in the know, the initial film, helmed by the legendary Mel Brooks both as director and co-writer, follows the escapades of space travelers Lone Starr and Barf. Their mission: save Princess Vespa (and her chatty robot, Dot Matrix) from the grasp of President Skroob and his Spaceballs. In their journey, Starr also seeks to master the mighty Schwartz!

Fans owe a debt of gratitude to Josh Gad for taking charge of the project’s development and successfully presenting it to Brooks, who believed in his vision. This upcoming science fiction spoof movie has been characterized as “A Sequel-ish Non-Sequel with Some Reboot Ingredients: A Film Expanding the Franchise,” in simpler terms.
I’ve got some exciting news to share! It seems that the specifics of the storyline are being tightly guarded, perhaps even in a remote corner of the cosmos. However, word on the street is that we can expect Bill Pullman to reappear as Lone Starr, and he’ll be accompanied by his real-life son, Lewis Pullman. Additionally, Rick Moranis will be back as Dark Helmet, while Daphne Zuniga returns to her role as Princess Vespa. To add to the cast, Keke Palmer is set to join us as a new character. Lastly, Josh Greenbaum has been chosen to direct this interstellar adventure!
Excitedly speaking, it won’t take long until we get updates on Spaceballs 2, I hope. I can hardly wait to find out what the team behind the scenes and actors have planned for us, and of course, I’m eager to check out the merchandise that will be launched. Given the franchise’s self-referential nature, it wouldn’t surprise me if the popcorn bucket trend is acknowledged in the movie itself. For now, we just need to be patient, but in the interim, my thoughts will be on the Eagle 5 bucket. While we wait, fans might want to rewatch the original movie, which can be streamed with a Max subscription.
