‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ star Carrie Coon, who plays Callie Spengler, addressed the future of the iconic horror-comedy franchise. Coon revealed that she has yet to see a script for a potential sequel.
“I have not [seen a script],” Coon said in an interview with ComicBook. “The joke is always that Callie is dead from alcoholism and comes back as a nagging ghost. But I suspect that’s probably not the direction they’re going.”
‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’, the sequel to 2021’s ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’, premiered back in March, grossing $201.9 million worldwide against a $100 million production budget. While that box office total is comparable to ‘Afterlife’ ($204.3 million), it’s important to mention ‘Afterlife’ was less expensive to make ($75 million budget) and opened when theaters were just starting to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, ‘Frozen Empire’ was seen as a disappointment, but director Gil Kenan has said more Ghostbusters movies are on the way.
The sequel to ‘Frozen Empire’ has not yet been officially greenlit. Although the film performed well on Netflix over the summer, it received mostly negative reviews and struggled at the box office.
At this time, the future direction of the ‘Ghostbusters’ story following ‘Frozen Empire’ remains unknown.
