Jason Reitman returns with a new adventure. Will we get nostalgic again?
In January 2019, the great news broke that Jason Reitman, the son of Ivan Reitman, was preparing a sequel to the films his father made in the 80s. This, of course, ignoring the film released in 2016, the reboot starring by women in leading roles.
Thus, after much anticipation, Sony chose to release ‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’, a sequel that saw most of the main cast of the 1984 film return (with one big exception, of course) under the direction of Reitman Jr. The movie was one of the best movies of 2021, as well as being a true nostalgia fest. Especially for that last third act, in which there was a reunion between the original cast and the new one. And better not to say much more…
Afterlife” was also able to obtain good results at the box office in 2021, almost 200 million dollars worldwide, something considerable in post-pandemic times for Sony to give the green light to its sequel. On June 8, the day of the premiere of the first film of ‘Ghostbusters’, it was confirmed that the film had a sequel, another animated film, in addition to an animated series for Netflix Reitman is undoubtedly willing to continue with the legacy that his father (who died last month of February.) So let’s review everything we know about this new project. Who are we going to call again?
Sequel to ‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’, release date
The sequel to ‘Beyond’ is now scheduled to be released in theaters on December 20, 2023. Far from being alone on that date, the new installment in the saga will compete head-to-head with Matt Shakman’s ‘Star Trek 4’ which will arrive just two days later. ‘Rogue Squadron’, the next installment that Patty Jenkins prepares, is also set for December 22. But it is already known that all this can change, that there is a year and a half to go.
Sequel to ‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’, synopsis
‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ (its original title) ends with a couple of post-credits scenes, revealing that first-generation Ghostbusters Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) is now a rich man who not only owns the old firehouse in the Ghostbusters, but he’s also kept his friend Ray Stantz’s (Dan Aykroyd) bookstore afloat all these years. It was a clear setup for the sequel, which has the working title of “Firehouse” and it is confirmed that he will return to the New York stage, like the first two films in the saga, after ‘Beyond’ was diverted to a small town in Oklahoma.
Also, it looks like the late Egon Spengler’s grandchildren, Trevor and Phoebe, will be following in their grandfather’s footsteps and getting into the ghost-hunting business in the upcoming film. Now that Phoebe and her friends are firmly established as the franchise’s new leads, the hope is that the sequel will focus less on serving older fans and find a compelling way to pin a future to the Ghostbusters brand.

Sequel to ‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’, cast
Until someone working on the film says otherwise, we can safely assume that the young stars of Mckenna Grace, who was Phoebe, Finn Wolfhard, Trevor in the film, Logan Kim (Podcast) and Celeste O’Connor (Lucky Domingo) will return for the sequel. Carrie Coon should also return as Trevor and Phoebe’s mother, Callie Spengler, as does Paul Rudd. as the professor and amateur seismologist, Gary Grooberson. Likewise, given “Afterlife’s” post-credits scene, Ernie Hudson appears to play a key role as the financier behind “Ghostbusters'” new operations in New York.
Jason Reitman will once again sit in the director’s chair, and he will almost certainly co-write the script with Gil Kenan. The ‘Juno’ and ‘Up in the Air’ director is overseeing all upcoming Ghostbusters projects right now, which is a big change of pace for him after a career spent directing offbeat indie comedies and budget movies. medium aimed at adults. What plans do you have with the saga? Are there planned changes for the franchise, or will you simply want to repeat the successes, as has already been seen with ‘Beyond’?
