In 2021, Ghostbusters: Afterlife got here onto the scene as the primary new entry for the reason that combined 2016 reboot, and because the official Ghostbusters 3 the franchise had been attempting to start for many years. An honest reception and strong field workplace success ensured it wouldn’t be a one-and-done, and right here that sequel is with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Initially meant to return out final Christmas earlier than getting punted to 2024 due to the Hollywood strikes, Frozen Empire picks up a few years after Afterlife. The Spengler household—Callie (Carrie Coon), Phoebe (McKennna Grace), and Trevor (Finn Wolfhard)—and Paul Rudd’s Grooberson are actually doing the Ghostbusters factor in New York once more as an official outfit tasked with saving town from a ghost god seeking to construct a military and freeze the planet. Just like the final film, Empire’s getting combined opinions throughout the board: some like the way it channels the vibes of the previous Actual Ghostbusters cartoon and the nostalgia feels it’s bringing, whereas others suppose the collection has already managed to burn by way of its new lease on life and will most likely be put down (once more) earlier than Sony has the prospect to make any more of them.
Ghostbusters is a franchise of us have an extended nostalgia for, and their ardour (or dispassion) for it actually rears its head within the lead-up to a brand new one.
