0New Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Image Reveals Replacement For Beloved Character
A new Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire image reveals a replacement for a beloved character. A direct sequel to Afterlife, the fifth film in the franchise features the return of the Spengler family as they reteam with the veteran Ghostbusters to protect New York City from a powerful entity known as the Death Chill and prevent a second Ice Age. The Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire cast brings back Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Celeste O'Connor, and Logan Kim in their respective roles, alongside the original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson.
Ahead of the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire release date in March, a new image (via Empire) reveals a replacement for a beloved character – the original Ghostbuster Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis). Check out the image below:
Egon Spengler was one of the four original Ghostbusters, but because Harold Ramis passed away in 2014, the character was resurrected through CGI for 2021's Afterlife. The spirit of Egon also lives on through his daughter, Callie (Carrie Coon), and grandchildren, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace). Though other Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire images showed Janine (Annie Potts) suiting up as Egon's replacement, the latest image, coupled with Reitman's comments, suggests that Lars Pinfield will be his true successor.
Lars Pinfield is played by the British comedian James Acaster, who is known for co-hosting the food podcast Off Menu. In Frozen Empire, Lars is the one responsible for innovating new technology for the Ghostbusters, similar to how Egon (with Ray's assistance) developed the technology behind the P.K.E. Meter, the Proton Pack, the Trap, the Aura Video-Analyzer, and the Etco Goggles. In addition to Lars, other newcomers in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire include Patton Oswalt as Dr. Hubert Wartzki and Kumail Nanjiani as Nadeem Razmaadi, though not much is known about these characters.
