Murray , Aykroyd , Weaver and Hudson were of course all palaver into doing cameo appearances in the 2016 reboot , as was fellow original hurl member Annie Potts , though none of them played their “ real ” characters . presumptively , the above named actors would all play their “ true”Ghostbusterscharacters in the newfangled movie , though it remains to be seen how big their persona would really be ( it ’s worth take note that none of them have been officially confirmed for the pic yet , but it looks like that ’s a formality at this point ) . No doubt , Jason Reitman ’s main ambition with his film is to establish his newfangled characters , while using the original cast members to   dissemble as a bridge to the older movies   ( a common practice in reboot films ) .

Given thatGhostbusters 3won’t be releasing until 2020 , fans are still a prospicient way forth from find oneself out what exactly Jason Reitman has in store for the beloved dealership . Ghostbustersfans try just how rabid they can bewith the backlash tothe 2016 reboot , and no doubt many of those same fans will be angry at Reitman ’s version no matter what he does . Thus far though , it seems Reitman is doing everything he can to keep fans felicitous , starting with affirm that many of the original motion picture ’s stamp members will indeed be back . Arguably , one of the swelled mistakes made by the 2016 reboot was the decision to relegate Bill Murray , Dan Aykroyd and ship’s company to token cameo appearances , so look for Reitman to put up the originalGhostbusterssquad more meaningful purpose in his film .
