Dan Akroyd makes cryptic return in new Ghostbusters trailer Ghostbusters: Afterlife

A new trailer for the long-awaited Ghostbusters sequel sees Dan Akroyd return as Ray Stantz.

Directed by Jason Reitman, the son of the original film’s director Ivan Reitman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife follows a single mother and her two children after they arrive in a new town and discover their connection to the first ghostbusters.

Siblings Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) are seen discovering the Ectomobile, complete with its Ecto-1 number plate, while the proton packs and ghost Slimer from the original film also return.

The supernatural comedy features new cast members including Ant-Man star Paul Rudd and The Leftovers actress Carrie Coon.

The giant, lumbering Stay Puft Marshmallow Man also returns but as multiple miniature versions invading a supermarket.

As the trailer ends, Akroyd is seen picking up a red phone and saying: “We’re closed.”

Afterlife will also see guest cameos from Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver.

The film is the fourth in the Ghostbusters franchise and the first since the all-female release in 2016 starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, who started a ghost-catching business in New York City.

After delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, Afterlife will arrive in cinemas in November.
