“Stranger Things” and ‘IT’ Breakout Finn Wolfhard in Talks for ‘Ghostbusters’!
Filming will begin this summer on Jason Reitman‘s Ghostbusters, a continuation of the original film franchise that may or may not feature the original actors and their original characters. We’re still waiting on word about that, but Variety reports today that “Stranger Things” and IT star Finn Wolfhard is in talks, as is Carrie Coon (Widows)!
“The studio would not comment on plot details, but sources say the story will focus on a single mom and her family, with Coon playing the mom and Wolfhard playing her son.”
The site adds, “It’s currently unknown how that will connect to the new Ghostbusters team.”
If Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters is a sequel to the original and Carrie Coon and Finn Wolfhard are playing a single mother and her child, is it safe to assume Wolfhard is playing the son of the late Egon Spengler? pic.twitter.com/PJDSia3R0d

Reitman co-wrote the script with Gil Kenan.
The Ghostbusters will return on July 10, 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.
