The Schwartz is still strong in comedy legend Mel Brooks − and now, returning with even greater power.
Amazon MGM Studios announced that Brooks, 98, will reprise his role as the Yoda-like Yogurt in a new "Spaceballs" movie. The sequel to the 1987 cult classic "Star Wars" parody will be released in theaters in 2027, according to a June 12 release.
Josh Greenbaum will direct the film from a script by a top team that includes "Frozen" star Josh Gad (also a producer), Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. Plot details and more casting news are being kept under wraps.
According to the release, the film has been described (by those who have not yet read the script) as "A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film."
Confused? The ONLY important thing is that "Spaceballs" is back and Brooks will play Yogurt, the keeper of the power known as The Schwartz (which is definitely not The Force).
