With Jason Reitman currently working on a sequel to the *original* Ghostbusters, it may seem pretty unlikely that we’ll ever see a sequel to 2016’s reboot, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call. Then again, if Reitman’s sequel takes place in the alternate universe of the original films, we suppose it’s always possible that the reboot universe could continue as well…
At Ghostbusters Fan Fest over the weekend, Paul Feig had this to say to fans of his 2016 film:
“Thank you so much, thank you for keeping the torch alive for Answer the Call. We’re hoping there’s a second call. And if we do get it, it’s all cause of you. Love you.”
The 2016 version of Ghostbusters made $230 million at the box office worldwide, but the film’s budget was too massive for it to be considered a hit. So who knows. Maybe a sequel made on a more reasonable budget isn’t such a bad idea. Only time will tell. In the meantime, Reitman’s Ghostbusters brings us back to the original continuity on July 10, 2020.
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones starred in Feig’s Ghostbusters.
