5 Things You May Have Missed In The New Frozen Empire Trailers

Not to jump too far ahead, but given the expansion of the Ghostbusters home base and its occupants, are we finally seeing what the franchise has been aiming for since the 2016 film «Ghostbusters: Answer the Call?» Both that ill-received entry and «Ghostbusters: Afterlife» were released under the «Ghost Corps» label established in 2015 to handle all projects linked to the original film. The aim was to build a cinematic universe as Sony delved further into this world through new movies, TV shows, and more. «Frozen Empire» seems like it will lay significant groundwork toward this goal.

Beyond being a paranormal research center where Winston says ghosts are allowed to «hang out» while they’re being studied, the lab in the trailer is also the workplace of the newest Ghostbuster employee, Lars Pinfield (James Acaster). We see him in several scenes, handling traps and foolishly grabbing the satanic snowball at the center of the latest mess. In addition to his slip-up with the cursed item, Lars is shown amid all the new equipment and other employees of the apparently healthy business.

Besides wearing an altered version of the iconic logo that swaps the warning band for a cog variant (Is Lars in the engineering department?), there’s also a black van and Janine using a wristband-like gun instead of the classic Particle Thrower. Ultimately, it’s clear our heroes are back in business, and we can’t wait to see them get to work when «Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire» arrives on March 22.
