In 2021, Ghostbusters: Afterlife got here onto the scene as the primary new entry for the reason that blended 2016 reboot, and because the official Ghostbusters 3 the franchise had been making an attempt to beginning for many years. A good 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 come back 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the final film, Empire’s getting blended critiques throughout the board: some like the way it channels the vibes of the outdated Actual Ghostbusters cartoon and the nostalgia feels it’s bringing, whereas others suppose the sequence has already managed to burn via its new lease on life and may in all probability 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.
