‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Toys from Funko Reveal New Main Villain and More SPOILERS
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the big screen with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on March 29, and we’re being promised new mythology and new ghosts this time around.
The film’s official trailer previewed the new threat known as “The Death Chill,” along with a giant-sized monster that looks to be the “big bad” of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Oddly enough, it’s through an upcoming toy line from Funko that we’re learning more this week about the new main villain and some of the movie’s new spectral monstrosities.
As a word of warning, the following images/details include SPOILERS for the movie…
The upcoming Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire toy line from Funko confirms that the horned monster glimpsed in the movie’s trailer is named Garraka, and the toys also preview a brand new ghost named Pukey. Additionally, they reveal that the Mini Pufts will be making a return in Frozen Empire, with one of the toys depicting a Mini Puft running on a hamster wheel.
Phoebe and Ray Stantz are also getting new Funko toys as part of this wave, though we of course already knew that both characters will be back in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
Garraka, we assume, is essentially the new Gozer of the franchise, likely responsible for unleashing the “Death Chill” upon NYC. Preview the upcoming Funko toy line below.
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
