In an interview with Empire Magazine, director Gil Keenan shared an update about the Ghostbusters film Frozen Empire. Keenan said, “Because the Spengler family story drove the narrative in Afterlife, bringing Gozer back to centre-stage was a natural way to close the book on the past. But we are now in the post-Gozerian era of the Ghostbusters saga, so that means we’re able to stretch out and create an entirely new mythology.” Empire also shared a photo of Peter Venkman lending a hand to Gary Grooberson. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire will hit theaters on March 29, 2024.
