Director Gil Kenan explains the reason behind Rick Moranis' Louis Tully not making a return in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and expresses his desire to bring back Sigourney Weaver's Dana Barrett in future sequels.
Ghostbusters : Frozen Empire brought back a number of beloved figures from the history of the franchise, though one figure from the first two films who didn't make their return is Rick Moranis as Louis Tully . Director of this latest sequel Gil Kenan noted that, while he's a big fan of Moranis, there was less of a thematic reason to attempt to include Louis as compared to 2021's Afterlife, while also noting that he wished he could have brought back Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett .
With Frozen Empire out now in theaters, it could earn enough excitement from audiences to warrant a sequel, which would potentially allow Louis or Dana to appear in that sequel. When asked by The Hollywood Reporter about attempts to bring back Moranis, Kenan confessed,"That would be a Jason Reitman question. That was more of an Afterlife story. We never wrote a role for Louis Tully in Frozen Empire. We've got enough characters in this story. I love Tully by the way. I'm a huge Rick Moranis fan. Louis Tully was an indelible element of Ghostbusters. Dana Barrett is also one of my favorite characters in these films, but there was no story for Dana Barrett in Frozen Empire. But if we're lucky enough to make more of these films, I would love for Dana to have more to do in these storie
