Are the original Ghostbusters in Frozen Empire? Cast, date release, and trailer

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is releasing very soon, bringing with it the beloved squad of ghost hunters back to the big screen for one last hurrah, and alongside them there are new ghosts, old tech, ancient threats, and the arrival of a new ice age.

Of course, what many are wondering is whether the original Ghostbusters will appear in the movie once again, either as they did in Ghostbusters: Afterlife or in a bigger role. The quick answer? Yes! And not only that, but it seems like the Ghostbusters are a bigger team than ever, as the complete cast is quite larger than expected.

When is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire releasing?

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is debuting in theaters across the US on Friday, March 22, 2024. However, the official premiere took place last night on the 18th in London, where the cast and crew made their appearance to celebrate the release of the film.

The production suffered a number of delays and issues, same as many other movies in development during the past few years, especially due to the SAG-AFTRA and Writer’s strikes. Originally scheduled for release back in December, the new Ghostbusters film is finally releasing very soon, and it’ll see the return of new and old faces alike.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire full cast

In case you’re wondering what this new Ghostbusters movie is about, take a look at the official synopsis: “In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an army of ghosts that casts a death chill upon the city, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.”

While the focus of the previous film was on the new generation of Ghostbusters, mainly the Spengler kids played by the wonderful Mckenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard, Frozen Empire is bringing together one of the largest teams we’ve seen on the big screen so far. Not only is the new generation of busters coming back in full, but the original Squad (including Janine) is back in action. Below you’ll find a list of every main member of the cast, as well as the character they’re playing.
