Though we had mixed feelings aboutGhostbusters : Afterlife , we suddenly have a novel rationality to be excited aboutsequelGhostbusters : Frozen Empire . Along with a homecoming to the New York City setting of the original films , it looks like one of the most - beloved original theatrical role , Annie Potts ’ Janine Melnitz , is finally die to be break some ghosts .
This supposition come from these new Empire Magazine covers ; while we get laid Potts was part of Frozen Empire ’s cast , we did n’t know her sassy , crank - wearing character would be suiting up in one of those Graeco-Roman jump suit , individualize with “ MELNITZ , ” naturally . It does n’t count like she has her own proton pack , going by this photo , but we ’re still thrilled to see Janine on the front transmission line , helping fight back NYC from supernatural clime variety .

Empire ’s clause accompanying these covers ( which glow in the dark , apparently ) further mention that the image shows Melnitz “ no longer relegate to the reception desk , ” though we trust she gets to reply at least one phone and yell “ Ghostbusters … whaddya want ? ” at the caller , just for old time ’s interest .
With Gil Kenan directing from a script by Kenan and Afterlife conductor Jason Reitman , Frozen Empire convey the original star back together with the Afterlife plaster cast . Along with Potts , that let in Paul Rudd , Carrie Coon , Finn Wolfhard , Mckenna Grace , Bill Murray , Dan Aykroyd , Ernie Hudson , and William Atherton ; plus , Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt will be on hand to bring even more comedy to the proceeding .
Ghostbusters : Frozen Empire hits theaters March 22 .
