Ant-Man’s Paul Rudd will be following in the footsteps of fellow Avenger Chris Hemsworth as he joins the Ghostbusters franchise for Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3.
Paul shared the news on Twitter in a hilarious video, shot in front of the iconic Ghostbusters firehouse.
He’ll reportedly be appearing alongside original stars Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver in what is shaping up to be a pretty exciting sequel.
The new Ghostbusters will begin filming sometime later this year, likely in late summer or early fall. Given that Rudd said multiple times in the video that he was excited to join the film “this fall,” the latter option seems most likely.
Reitman is the son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman. Earlier this month, Reitman said that he was making this new movie for the fans, and to honor his dad.
“You’re the greatest storyteller I know, and I’m the luckiest son on Earth,” Reitman told his father at Ghostbusters Fan Fest. “I feel so intimidated making this film, but I’m making it for all of you guys. But most of all, I’m making it for you, and I love you.”
Ghostbusters 2020 is currently set to hit theaters on July 10, 2020.
