A new casting announcement for the Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel reveals that Eternals stars Patton Oswalt and Kumail Nanjiani have joined the film.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2, the currently untitled legacy sequel, has made some major casting announcements. The film, which is currently filming and due in theaters on December 20, is the fifth entry in the long-running franchise that began with the original Ghostbusters in 1984. Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which premiered in 2021, ignored the events of the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot in favor of following the grandchildren of original Ghostbuster Egon Spengler on a new adventure in Oklahoma.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per Deadline, four new cast members have been added to the Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 cast. This will include a reunion of Eternals co-stars Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt, in currently unspecified roles. Also boarding the project are James Acaster and Emily Alyn Lind.
Where You Know the New Ghostbusters Cast Members Everybody who has been added to the cast has had a career steeped in comedy that will help the new Ghostbusters film maintain the franchise's signature humor. This includes Acaster, an English comedian who also recently appeared opposite Camila Cabello in 2021's Cinderella.
The upcoming Ghostbusters movie will also benefit greatly from the presence of Nanjiani and Oswalt. Although they have recently been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they both have a long career in comedy behind them, including stand-up, television, and film.
These Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 new additions are joining an already stacked cast. Among the Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars confirmed to return to the film, which will take the action back to New York City, are Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon. With this much comic talent on display, it seems likely that this new film will help keep the franchise running smoothly.
