In an interview with The Greg Hill Show, Aykroyd confirmed the news. Murray was the last of the main trio of surviving ‘Ghostbusters’ yet to confirm their return with both Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson previously confirming their returns.
Actresses Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts also confirmed the reprisals of their roles. Of the remaining two regulars, Rick Moranis has of the most retired from movie biz .Sadly the film will need to address the absence of the late Harold Ramis.
The movie also stars Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard and Carrie Coon in the main roles while Paul Rudd will be playing a teacher. The focus will be on Coon’s single mom and her family (Wolfhard and Grace play her kids).
Jason Reitman directed the new film, taking over from his father Ivan Reitman who helmed the first two and will produce.
The new Ghostbusters comes to the big screen on July 10, 2020.
