“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is opening just one week earlier than “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” so if you go into the theater expecting to see a “Ghostbusters” movie but instead find yourself looking at a giant lizard, you’re in the wrong screening. Maybe. The biggest Ghostbusters ghost ever that Reitman teased is called the Sewer Dragon, and the franchise is no stranger to boss battle set pieces featuring giant monsters. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man arguably qualifies as a kaiju.
It’s just as well, then, that between the new kids on the block (Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd) and the legacy characters, “Frozen Empire” is packing a pretty large team of Ghostbusters. Also returning is the Ghostbusters’ old pal Slimer and their longtime enemy Walter Peck (William Atherton), aka the man with no dick. New cast additions include Kumail Nanjiani, James Acaster, and Patton Oswalt.
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” lands in theaters on March 22, 2024.
