With recent rumors swirling about another big-screen Ghostbusters adventure, Carrie Coon was asked about her potential return as Callie Spengler, revealing that Jason Reitman previously had an idea for where things could go next, writes Jason from Ghostbusters News.
Speaking with ScreenRant’s Ben Gibbons at the 2026 BFI London Film Festival, Coon admitted she hasn’t recently checked in with the franchise’s creative team, saying, “I haven’t reached out,” while noting that Reitman “had an idea a long time ago.”
As for what that idea might involve, Coon didn’t offer any story details, instead noting Reitman’s busy schedule and sharing that the two have joked about her character’s future: “He’s very busy restoring all the theaters in LA, or at least his own theater.

“So, I’m not sure what he has planned. We always joke that I’ll be dead, and I’ll just be a nagging ghost, but we’ll see if that’s the plan.”
Despite recent rumors, Coon’s remarks offer no firm indication of when, or if, the Spengler family might suit up again, leaving a potential follow-up to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire firmly in rumor territory.
Fans can look forward to the franchise’s return to animation, with Ghostbusters: Night Shift coming exclusively to Netflix next year. Set in New York City in 1994, five years after the events of Ghostbusters II, the series follows a new group of young New Yorkers who find themselves facing a supernatural threat, with Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan among its executive producers.
Alongside Night Shift, an untitled animated Ghostbusters feature is also in development from Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix. Details on that project remain limited, with no release date announced.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
