Ghostbusters Is Officially Switching Casts Again In 2027

Although the ensemble cast of Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis is what made audiences fall in love with Ghostbusters in the first place, the franchise has changed its cast a lot in the past decade. In 2016, Paul Feig rebooted the Ghostbusters franchise with an all-female cast, led by his Bridesmaids stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. It was a fun enough movie, with a lot of laughs and a lot of VFX spectacle, but the inevitable comparisons to the original Ghostbusters — one of the single greatest comedies ever made, and a childhood-defining masterpiece for multiple generations — did not work in its favor.
