Sigourney Weaver has confirmed her involvement with ended up becoming a box office disappointment.
Jump to the present and its confirmed cast so far. Now, it appears we can add a few more names to that list.
During a recent interview with Parade, Weaver confirmed she will appear in Ghostbusters 3. She also indicated that Aykroyd and Murray are of the film's cast, saying "It’s going to be crazy working with the guys again!” Beyond that, however, Weaver avoided revealing anything in the way of new plot or character-related information.
Aykroyd co-wrote the original Ghostbusters with Ramis and has been the franchise's biggest er since it was launched, so it's no surprise that he's coming back for Ghostbusters 3. Murray, by comparison, has long been vocal about his disappointment with Ghostbusters II and didn't seem all that interested in making a third film throughout the 1990s and 2000s. However, just this past month, he said he's open to appearing in Ghostbusters 3, and explained that his hesitancy about making the movie in the past had more to do with Sony's changes in leadership over the years than anything else. It appears he wasn't just talking, either, and has now committed to sharing the screen with Weaver, Aykroyd, and their younger costars in the forthcoming sequel.
That just leaves Ernie Hudson uned for, as far as the primary stars of the 1984 Ghostbusters are concerned. There's no mention of him in Parade's article, but Hudson has confirmed that he met with Reitman to congratulate him after Ghostbusters 3 was announced. At the time, Hudson said he hadn't been approaching about reprising his role as Winston Zeddemore in the film, but signaled that he's open to the idea. It would certainly be nice to have him back with the rest of the returning guard in Ghostbusters 3, so here's hoping Reitman finds room for Hudson in the movie.
