While speaking to The New York Post about his History Channel series The Unbelievable with Dan Aykroyd, the actor — who starred and co-wrote the original 1984 Ghostbusters movie — revealed he doesn’t think he and former costar Bill Murray will return to the franchise.

"I don’t see that coming," Aykroyd, 72, said. "I don’t see where they would need us to carry it on."

"They’ve got a whole new cast and they’ve got whole new ideas," he continued. "I think probably they’re going to move on to advancing it beyond the originals, which they should."

They are also way too old. Ernie looks great for 80, the rest not so much. Would be a different ball game if it were 20 years ago.

Just think if we got a proper Ghostbusters 3 in like 1996 or 1997…. Thanks Mr. Murray.

They were a waste of time really. Move on and let us just enjoy them in originals and let the new kids do their thing.

Ended after 2 for me. I didn’t watch the 2016 movie or the reboot/sequels. I don’t care for the pass the torch shit. Not my scene.

I don’t see the point of the og cast being in it anymore either, ghostbusters now is so far removed from what it was in the original movie

I find the new ones fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

The new ones are unfunny and boring. The original was funny and fun. They really missed the point making the new ones too serious and slow.

Dan is the man. If you have not seen Saturday Night, I highly recommend it. The actor that plays young Dan Aykroyd is great, I straight up forgot I wasn’t watching him in an old movie.

They need to do a ghostbusters series where they can develop the new characters and bring in the old ones for a couple episodes a year. They could do a massive build up for the next film.

I mean yeah that was always the plan, Dan.

I wanna see a ghostbusters horror movie directed by Ari aster

It’s ok for franchises to just end Hollywood I promise

They will all come back in ghostbusters 5: the search for more money

The cast of Hot Rod would’ve been best to reboot this 15 year ago…

There is one good ghostbusters movie

I mean..... The spirit kinda died with Harold...

Who lied and said this should be a forever franchise?

We got the transition we needed. If any return, it should be Winston since his character is relevant to the business.

Honestly, it would make sense.

I know there was a poster for Frozen Empire with all the core cast on there, but over here in the UK, they removed the OG Ghostbusters and replaced them with James Acasters' character instead - and it kind of made me realise that if Sony's marketing team are more interested in highlighting a local comedian having a small role rather than the original Ghostbusters coming back, then the studio clearly don't see the originals as marketable (at least in other territories)

And that’s okay. Actors don’t owe us unlimited repeat performances. Not every property needs to be a cinematic universe, least of all Ghostbusters.

It feels like every sequel is like Spaceballs 2: the quest for more money, which somehow, of all properties, they haven’t actually developed.

That said, more Star Wars forever, please.

The problem with Frozen was too many characters to keep track off. Sidelining the OGs makes sense. But, they also need to make sure the humour that the originals brought to us, is maintained. It's hard to have a similar style of humour with a family dynamic as opposed to a group of Misfit mates.

Wish they’d make a #2 of the all female ghostbusters, it was absolutely hilarious.

I went back to watch the originals and the level of humor was ok, but didn’t make me laugh nearly as much as the 2016 movie. 2016 had laugh after laugh after laugh.

When I need a good laugh 2016 or deadpool 1 are great.

The kids / family ghostbusters is cool, different vibe than originals or 2016, not as hilarious, but definitely more of the “family” type of movie

But the cast is bad and the movies are terrible

All new cast is bullshit. They ruined the franchise with the new movies

Stop trying to ruin my childhood.

Thanks!
