Frozen Empire misuses the original Ghostbusters.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Despite the fact that Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire includes three of the original four Ghostbusters from the iconic 1984 film, the new movie does not do much with its beloved characters, leaving one Ghostbuster shining bright while the others fall into the background.
Related Why 2 OG Ghostbusters Characters Don't Appear In Frozen Empire Explained By Director Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan explains why two major characters from the original movies do not appear in the latest sequel. Dan Aykroyd Is The Only Original Ghostbusters Star To Have A Major Frozen Empire Role Of the three remaining original Ghostbusters, Dan Aykroyd's Ray Stantz is the only one to play a major role in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
In this way, Dan Aykroyd doesn't make a simple cameo in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, but is a huge part of the film. In many ways, the plot relies on him. The Garraka's prison is sold to his shop, and he brings it to the Ghostbusters lab, where it ultimately gets set free. Stantz is the one who finds Dr. Hubert Wartzki, who explains the Garraka's mythology, and even gives it its name.
In terms of affecting the plot, a Ghostbusters character that actually gets some mileage is William Atherton as Mayor Walter Peck. Though Peck's scenes are not many, he does pose a very serious threat to the Ghostbusters, and his ruling that Phoebe can no longer be a Ghostbuster has a huge effect on the film's story. His bitterness towards the Ghostbusters is not just a nostalgic throwback, but actually important in the grand scheme of things.
