Ernie Hudson Clarifies Recent ‘Ghostbusters’ Comments: “Nobody Has Approached Me”
Over the weekend, a rumor spread that Ernie Hudson had confirmed he and the surviving members of the original Ghostbusters team would be back in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters, but the reality is that Hudson never actually said that. Hudson had expressed interest in playing Winston Zeddemore one more time, but that was far from any kind of confirmation.
In a chat today with The Johnny Dare Morning Show (via Ghostbusters News), Winston just clarified his comments, noting that he hasn’t yet received a call from Reitman.
“I don’t know. Nobody has approached me with a contract,” Hudson told the show.
Hudson continued, “I think the Ghostbusters fans have been wanting [a “passing of the torch”] dynamic to happen, so I know whatever happens is going to be in that tradition… I’m excited about that. I’d be more excited if they called me and offered me a job, but no matter what happens the fact that they’re doing it is really cool.”
It seems Reitman’s film, a sequel to the original two Ghostbusters movies, will indeed be something of a “passing of the torch” affair, so we do expect the original stars to return.
Ghostbusters returns to the big screen in Summer 2020.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
