Slimer Returns in New GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE Image

After all these years, we still know who to call when there’s something strange in the neighborhood. Ghostbusters: Afterlife showed that’s true whether you live in New York or Oklahoma, as a new generation of specter seekers proved bustin’ feels good at any age. But which members of the group, both old and new, will show up in the franchise’s next installment? Where will this sequel take us next?

One character that we will see return in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is Slimer. Although details of the ghoulishly green ghost’s role in the movie haven’t yet arrived, we’re very glad to see his smiling face. Honestly, get Slimer his own cooking show, stat.

The synopsis for the movie further shares:

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.

Hang on tight, everyone, it’s about to be a frosty ride.
