    A Return to Origins

It’s bigger scale, more blockbuster, action, there’s a lot. It’s very fun.”

    The Ultimate Team-Up

    Finn Wolfhard, stepping into the shoes of Trevor, Phoebe’s older brother, is thrilled about the on-screen collaboration between the new and original Ghostbusters. “This movie is incredibly fun because you have the original Ghostbusters teaming up with the new Ghostbusters,” says Wolfhard. “It’s hard to believe that we’re all in the same room together, working on the same scenes. It’s very surreal but super rewarding.” This unprecedented alliance forms the heart of the movie, blending the iconic humor and camaraderie of the original films with the vibrant energy of the new generation.

    A Chilling New Adversary

    The stakes are higher than ever as our heroes face Garraka, a spectral force with the power to unleash a deadly frost upon the world. Grace describes Garraka as “a terrifying villain,” setting the tone for a movie that masterfully balances the thrill of the ghost hunt with the chill of a supernatural apocalypse.
