Dan Aykroyd Questions Future of Ghostbusters

Dan Aykroyd has expressed skepticism about the future involvement of himself and Bill Murray in the Ghostbusters franchise, stating, "I don’t see that coming" regarding any further films featuring them. In recent interviews, Aykroyd noted that the franchise has shifted focus to a new cast and fresh ideas, indicating a natural progression beyond the original characters. He acknowledged his gratitude for the franchise's legacy, which includes the recent films Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, but affirmed that it's time for new talent to lead the series. Aykroyd, who co-created the original 1984 film, believes the franchise should advance without reliance on its original stars. While the latest installment, Frozen Empire, performed modestly, it has found some success in home release, suggesting a continued interest among fans. Aykroyd's remarks come amid ongoing discussions about future projects, with fellow original cast member Ernie Hudson still eager to participate in new developments.
