8 Teased Movies That Will ONLY Happen If Upcoming Movies Succeed

8. Ghostbusters: Afterlife Could Lead To A Full Series With The Young Cast

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is being billed as a direct follow-up to the first two films in the franchise, ignoring the events of the 2016 reboot.

Like a lot of modern sequels to classic movies, it's bringing in a younger cast to carry the torch, with Gifted's McKenna Grace and Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard playing a brother and sister who discover a link to the original Ghostbusters.

Since the Ghostbusters franchise hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders recently, the main hope is that Afterlife will be a solid movie in its own right. That said, the studio is hoping for more than just a one-and-done adventure, and if the movie is a success, then these youngsters are expected to become the new stars of the series.

That's according to Dan Aykroyd, star of the first two Ghostbusters movies. In 2020, he stated that Afterlife will pass the baton to the new generation, and that the story will directly set up "more follow-ups" with these fresh-faced ankle-biters.

We'll have to wait until November to see how Afterlife fares financially, but if it annihilates the box-office? Then the young 'busters will continue on.
