Rick Moranis appears at Comic-Con International to address long-running fan questions about a “Spaceballs” sequel. According to reports, the 73-year-old actor—who has been largely absent from Hollywood—joins a panel at the convention’s Hall H to promote his role as Dark Helmet in “Spaceballs: The New One.” Fans have frequently stopped him to ask when the sequel would happen, and Moranis says he is finally able to provide an answer to those inquiries. Both outlets describe the response as enthusiastic when Moranis’s name and participation were announced and when he speaks during the event. The Independent focuses on Moranis’s reception at the panel, noting that he is met with a standing ovation as he engages with fans. Inquirer.net adds that the discussion takes place on Friday, July 24, and frames the appearance as part of the promotion for the long-awaited sequel to the 1987 cult classic. The coverage emphasizes fan anticipation and Moranis’s return to the role in the newly announced or promoted project.
