It’s taken a long time for the Ghostbusters film franchise to reach this point. We’ve finally reached the fifth film in the series, titled Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, notably the fourth in the original Ghostbusters canon, and Sony has dropped the brand-new teaser trailer.
The new film is a sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which acted as a direct sequel to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. Fans waited decades for a third Ghostbusters movie, and while there was 2016’s remake, this was the first time that fans got to return to the original continuity in live-action since the first sequel.
Now the newest continuation is set to further expand the new narrative while bringing things closer to the original films, including an emphasis on New York City. Indeed, this new teaser trailer is sure to make fans happy.
Here’s the new teaser trailer for the all-new Ghostbusters film:
The new sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife was directed by Gil Kenan.
The cast of the film includes Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind. Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, and Carrie Coon also star.
The plot of the previous film revolved around Egon Spengler’s family, with the character having passed away prior to the main events of the film. Now his grandchildren begin to discover the legacy that he left behind and the return of a sinister supernatural presence.
This gradually led us back to the original Ghostbusters team, including the iconic characters played by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson. It was a fun way to explore a new narrative while also catching fans up with their favorite characters. Now we’ll get to see how this next sequel takes things a step further.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is currently scheduled to hit theaters on March 29, 2024. It’s certainly going to be a great way to spend the beginning of next year – especially considering it’ll be the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film!
