First up, Mike Ryan of Uproxx requested in regards to the “Ghostbusters” sticker at the Ecto-1, which Phoebe discovers in her grandfather’s dilapidated farmhouse. As eagle-eyed fanatics spotted, the sticker is from the primary “Ghostbusters” movie, now not the second one, because of this the ghost mascot is not flashing the peace signal. This implies someday after “Ghostbusters II” Egon should have switched again to the unique sticker. Ryan requested why.
“I want I may communicate to you about that,” Reitman defined. “Neatly, I am simply announcing that is a plot that’s not on this movie and we’ve concepts transferring ahead.”
This brings up the likelihood that “Ghostbusters II” may not be canon, however Reitman threw chilly water on that concept.
“No, ‘Ghostbusters II,’ for sure canon,” he defined. “There are references to ‘Ghostbusters II’ in ‘Afterlife.’ We meet Ray operating at Ray’s Occult. The toaster from ‘Ghostbusters II’ is within the kitchen within the farmhouse. There is in reality quite a lot of ‘Ghostbusters II’ main points however no person is aware of ‘Ghostbusters II’ out of doors of Vigo the Carpathian and the ‘Ghostbusters II’ emblem. So there may be this assumption that it isn’t canon however it’s for sure canon.”
Subsequent, Ryan requested a few photograph that looks in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” which displays Egon with a tender kid. For the reason that photograph used to be taken in “Ghostbusters II,” that begs the query: did Egon have an unmentioned kid all the time? Reitman showed that that is certainly the case.
So there you cross. Obviously there may be a large number of Egon’s backstory that also wishes to be crammed in. If “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” will get a sequel, confidently we will get the solutions.
