GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE Stills Spotlight One Of The Franchise's New Spooks, Muncher

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is set for release this November, and on the haunted heels of a new trailer and a pair of theatrical posters, Empire Magazine has debuted a pair of new promo stills.

The first image features the next generation of spook-hunters led by Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), while the second provides our best look yet at one of the new ghosts we'll meet in the movie, Muncher. We don't know a whole lot about this flabby fella of the role he'll play, but he definitely seems to be inspired by our old pal Slimer, who is also expected to appear.

Full reviews are still embargoed, but Afterlife screened at CinemaCon last month, and the first social media reactions were mostly very positive.

From director Jason Reitman and producer Ivan Reitman, comes the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, when a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.

Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts have all been confirmed to reprise their roles from the original movies, and they'll be joined by Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Carrie Coon (Fargo), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) and Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel).

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is currently set to blast into theaters on November 11, 2021.

Wonder if they will have the theme song.

Hopefully no crappy remix


could do a darker instrumental of it, if this is a less comedic movie.

Wonder if they could do a cgi ghost egon, could be a nice moment with the grandkids and a tribute to Ramis

@dracula - they could, but should they?

@Slotherin - Maybe not, really depends how it would be done and how much of it would be in the movie. Would be nice to see him represented

@dracula - I feel ya. I miss the guy, but I can't help but think of things like Moff Tarkin in Rogue One.
However, I will say that the nature of a ghost works better than trying to pull off what's supposed to be a living human with cg. Maybe the uncanny valley effect would actually work with that.


I'm glad he's getting legacy at least in the film.

I was walking through Target yesterday, and saw toys for the new movie. Of the 4 kids, two have regular names (Trevor and Phoebe) and the other two are named “Lucky” and “Podcast”. Not sure what to think of this…

If you've seen any of Jason Reitman's movies, you know this is gonna be a lot funnier than the trailers let on.

The movie looks fine, it's probably going to be good, & it has Carrie Coon so that's a big plus.
The ghost is giving me tardigrade vibes.

@4thMaster - Carrie Coon in the Leftovers might be my favorite performance in any TV show I've seen

@tmp3 - It kills me that she's criminally underrated, she should be huge after Leftovers.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll probably see this but I don't have high hopes.
