Grab your warmest jumpsuit, people – the Ghostbusters are back!
On Wednesday, Sony dropped the first look the long-awaited sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife and revealed the aptly given title: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Afterlife took fans to rural Oklahoma, where the grandchildren of the late Egon Spengler (the late Harold Ramis) moving to the “creepy old farmhouse” he left behind in the small town of Summerville.
Upon discovering their grandfather’s ghostly past, Phoebe (McKenna Grace) and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) seem to unleash the undead again and must also realize that they are not afraid of any spirit. Carrie Coon plays the children’s single mother, and Paul Rudd shines as a true believer and science teacher.
The upcoming film returns to its roots for a very unusual summer as the Spengler family returns to where it all began – New York City’s iconic firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who have developed a top-secret research laboratory to investigate the taking destructive spirits to the next level. But the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, and Ghostbusters both new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age.
Again, Ernie Hudson resumes his role as Winston Zeddemore next door other OG cast members such as Annie Potts, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray.
Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt and comedian James Acaster join the ensemble cast.
