Ghostbusters: Afterlife action figure line includes characters new and old

Last Updated on August 10, 2021

We know that original Ghostbusters (watch it HERE) stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson are going to be making an appearance in director Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but if you don't want to see action figure versions of what they'll be up to in the new film, you won't want to scroll down any further. Consider this a SPOILER warning!

Set to reach theatres on November 11th, Ghostbusters: Afterlife was written by Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman, who is the son of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II (watch that one HERE) director Ivan Reitman. The film stars Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, and Carrie Coon as a family 

with single mom Callie and her two kids, Trevor and Phoebe, who move into a beaten-down farmhouse in Oklahoma only to discover that there’s something strange in the neighborhood. Unexplained quakes shake the town. There’s an old mine nearby that bears the name of Ivo Shandor, who built the Manhattan high-rise in the 1984 film that channeled the forces of evil. 

Paul Rudd plays "a local teacher who’s been documenting the unexplained phenomena, befriending Callie and her kids, and helping make the connection between the current weirdness and the events of three decades before". Celeste O'Connor, Logan Kim, Bokeem Woodbine, Tracy Letts, and Oliver Cooper are also in the cast, with Murray, Aykroyd, and Hudson, and their Ghostbusters co-stars Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver.

Ivan Reitman produced the new film, with Aykroyd serving as executive producer alongside Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld, Michael Beugg, Aaron L. Gilbert, and Jason Cloth.

The action figures pictured below reveal that Murray, Aykroyd, and Hudson will indeed be suiting up and busting ghosts in the new film, as will a few of the new characters. These figures look pretty cool to me, which is a good thing since they'll cost $25 a piece when they reach stores this fall. Here's the info:
