Gil Kenan Confirms More GHOSTBUSTERS Sequels Are Coming After GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE
After Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ended up being a disappointment, I wasn’t sure what the future held for the Ghostbusters franchise. A lot of fans thought that Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan dropped the ball on that movie.
Well, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire writer and director Gil Kenan has confirmed that they are looking to make more Ghostbusters sequels.
During an interview with The Direct, Kenan said: “Jason [Reitman]… we take the responsibility and the joy of being the keepers of the flame of Ghostbusters very seriously… we definitely are continuing the conversation of telling big Ghostbuster stories on the big screen. And stay tuned. There’ll be more. There’ll be more about that later.”
While the last Ghostbusters movie wasn’t the best, I’m open to seeing more Ghostbusters movies on the big screen. I just hope that Reitman and Kenan learn from their past mistakes. Fans are just looking for a strong and fun story.
As of right now, there is also a new Ghostbusters animated series coming to Netflix, which is being overseen by Reitman and Kenan. There’s also an animated feature film that has been in development.
Kenan previously talked about some ideas that he has for sequels, saying: "I'm a greedy fan. I want more and more Ghostbusters fans, I'd be happy if these stories extended out in every direction.
“I'm happy that we're back in New York City, but I wouldn't mind seeing something that actually goes to other parts of the world. I do feel like one of the things that we explore in this film is that there are mythologies that speak to not just ancient threats.
“But, ancient ghost-busting that the team in 1984 were not the first to come together to find a way to stop a supernatural threat.
"I'd love to explore how other cultures, or at least I'd love to see as a fan, how other cultures create specific threats and specific ways to deal with them in future installments."
There is no word yet on when the next Ghostbusters sequel might enter production.
