Matt Damon Now Stuck on Uranus in Spoof of 'The Martian' Sequel
Seeing Matt Damon marooned on Mars was a hit with moviegoers over the weekend, making "The Martian" the top box office draw.
Already fans are eager to see the heartthrob actor get lost exploring a far more vast space--and Ellen DeGeneres unveiled the spoof trailer on her talkshow on Tuesday.
"I'm left with no option," Damon says with deadpan delivery. "I'm going to have to explore the surface of Uranus."
All together now: Bah-dum-bum-pssssh.
Having a tongue-in-cheek play on the oft-joked-upon planet, Damon parodies his "The Martian" character as stuck on our solar system's third farthest planet--a distance that takes nearly 10 years to reach.
In the clip, Ellen DeGeneres takes on the role as the head of NASA. Her plan: Find an expert on Uranus. And who better than the Internet-breaking Kim Kardashian West?
"Did somebody saw Uranus?" the E! fixture responds, dressed convincingly like a scientist with a clipboard and a smock.
Squeezing one last joke out of the mock trailer, Damon says, "Tell my family that I never stopped fighting... to get off Uranus."
The tagline for the trailer at the end of the segment sums it up aptly: "One man. One planet. One joke."
"The Martian" is in theaters now.
