#Ghostbusters 2 movie
While plot details about the upcoming sequel are limited, sources reported to Deadline that the movie might be heading back to New York City and the firehouse from the original Ghostbusters movies. It’s been some time since we’ve been in New York City, and while there are plenty of movies and television shows that take place in the wonderful world of NYC, I think it’s perfect to return to where it all started – that dang firehouse. Reported from the Deadline article above, the plan for the sequel is to head back to the city that never sleeps.

If the Ghostbusters: Afterlife release date in 2023 pans out, then it’s going to be an eventful year for Paul Rudd, as he's going to be in the latest Marvel Phase 5 movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Since nothing is confirmed just yet, we can hope. Carrie Coon was a part of the cast of The Gilded Age, and Bill Murray was in the Apple TV+ film, The Greatest Beer Run Ever. If the cast was to return, it would be super awesome.


There’s so much that these cast members have been doing this last year, from Finn Wolfhard in Stranger Things Season 4, being one of the most popular shows on Netflix right now, to McKenna Grace appearing in The Handmaids Tale and the popular Peacock show, A Friend of the Family. Who exactly is going to be returning amongst everyone here is unconfirmed, but Deadline did say that insiders are reporting that at least Rudd and Coon might be coming back. It was first confirmed that one of the main stars, McKenna Grace, was set to come back for the sequel in an interview with Comic Book, however, from the Deadline article above, it's been reported from inside sources that cast members Carrie Coon and Paul Russ might be back for the next movie.įor those who need a refresher from the last movie on who was in the cast, it included McKenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd, Annie Potts, Ernie Hudson, and several of the original members of the Ghostbusters cast. However, with his ability to possess souls, it's entirely possible for him to return in some capacity.(Image credit: Sony Pictures) Some Of The Cast From The Previous Film Are Reported To Be Returning Unfortunately, both actors who played Vigo the Carpathian (he was played by Wilhelm von Homburg and voiced by Max von Sydow) have passed away since the release of the movie. Ghostbusters: Afterlife has a lot of potential avenues to go down if they wish to explore a closer tie to Ghostbusters II (which also included a living Statue of Liberty). The Ghostbusters also discover a river of slime running beneath the city that sends a rush of negative energy through the citizens of New York. The old crew gets dragged back into a supernatural adventure yet again when a 16th century magician called Vigo the Carpathian attempts to regain power in the real world through a portrait at the museum where Sigourney Weaver's Dana Barrett works. Ghostbusters II had a similar plotline to the beginning of Afterlife, opening on the Ghostbusters being forgotten and disgraced, appearing at kids' birthday parties rather than being celebrated for saving the city five years ago.

He admits that " there’s actually lots of lost of Ghostbusters II details but nobody knows Ghostbusters II outside of Vigo the Carpathian and the Ghostbusters II logo." Beyond that he doesn't go into too much detail about the way that the plot of Ghostbusters II interacts with Afterlife, hinting that " we have ideas moving forward" and that film may tie in more directly with a sequel to Afterlife if that gets the green light. He pointed out some minor references to the film scattered throughout Afterlife, including Ray Stantz running the Ray's Occult bookstore, which only existed in the sequel. Speaking with Uproxx, Jason Reitman confirmed that Ghostbusters II is indeed canon in his new film. Related: Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Revelation 6:12 Explained That film's 1989 sequel, Ghostbusters II, isn't directly referenced in the storyline, leading to some question about whether or not Afterlife considers it part of the continuity or chose to ignore it, similar to the way the 2018 Halloween film ignored all the sequels after the first. It is rather a direct sequel to the original Ghostbusters continuity that originated in 1984's Ghostbusters, which was directed by Jason Reitman's father Ivan. Although the film is technically the fourth in the Ghostbusters franchise, it ignores the continuity of the 2016 remake, which starred Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.
