Dan Aykroyd Does Not Hold Back His Thoughts About Where Ghostbusters Left Off: ‘I Don’t See That Coming’

As a long-time fan who has grown up with the original Ghostbusters movies and cherished every moment of their witty banter and paranormal adventures, it’s bittersweet to hear Dan Aykroyd’s words about not returning for another film. Over the years, these characters have become more than just celluloid heroes – they’ve been a part of my life, my friends, and my Halloween costumes.


For years, fans have dreamed about the possibility of another “Ghostbusters” movie, and finally in 2021, a film titled “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” was released. This movie saw the return of all the original Ghostbusters, except for Harold Ramis who tragically passed away. A sequel, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” came next where the original cast played even more significant roles. However, if you’re expecting a third film in this new franchise that reunites the original Ghostbusters cast, one of them has expressed doubts about its happening.

In conversation with the New York Post, Dan Aykroyd shares that he won’t likely rejoin for another “Ghostbusters” movie. Despite his belief in the potential for another film, he feels it’s now the time for the new cast to shine independently without the original Ghostbusters lending a hand. He expressed…

It seems unlikely that they’ll require our help with it, given the new actors and fresh concepts they’re introducing.

It’s important to note that Dan Aykroyd isn’t expressing any resentment in his words. He’s perfectly fine with the original cast not being involved. In fact, he believes that the Ghostbusters franchise should aim to surpass the originals as it moves forward.

While fans undoubtedly appreciated the return of Ghostbusters in the latest movie, Dan Aykroyd makes a valid point. At some stage, the new series should be able to thrive independently without solely relying on the nostalgia from the original films. Given that Aykroyd is still involved as a producer in the Ghostbusters franchise, he has insight into future plans and developments.

It’s uncertain at this point what the next steps might be regarding a new Ghostbusters movie on the big screen. Although no official third film has been confirmed yet, Dan Aykroyd seems to hint at some potential plans for future movies, suggesting there could indeed be more Ghostbusters films in our future.

The popular franchise known as Ghostbusters continues to advance, with an animated series currently being developed by Netflix. As of now, it’s undecided whether this series will focus on the original Ghostbusters team, the new group of Ghostbusters, or a brand-new crew altogether.

It seems that the original characters’ era in the Ghostbusters franchise may have come to a close, but that’s alright since fans still cherish them and will likely appreciate any new iterations. This year, the Ghostbusters were among the most popular attractions at Universal Parks during Halloween Horror Nights. Rest assured, the Ghostbusters aren’t fading away anytime soon.
