With
Captain Marvel now available on DVD and Blu-ray, I recently had the opportunity to talk to stars Mckenna Grace (Carol Danvers) and Akira Akbar (Monica Rambeau) about their experiences working on the Marvel Studios movie. We'll bring you that interview in full tomorrow, but during my chat with the talented actresses, I asked Mckenna about her role in the
Ghostbusters reboot.
It was back in March when we learned she had landed a lead role in the Jason Reitman helmed reboot/sequel which will put the focus on a brand new cast of characters in the same world as the original team. McKenna (whose acting credits include everything from
The Gifted to
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) is one of the leads, and I had to try to get some information out of her!
"[Laughs] No, don't even try that with me, mister! I cannot!" she responded, smartly avoiding giving anything away. When I asked if she could talk about how it feels to join the franchise, Mckenna added:
"Oh yeah, I'm so excited about it because I'm a huge fan of the Ghostbusters so that's going to be super exciting. I cannot share anything about it with you my friend, I'm really sorry! [Laughs]"
This is the first time she's talked about joining
Ghostbusters, and we'll hopefully find out a lot more about the movie soon. We've seen a brief teaser already, and with a July 10th, 2020 release date set, some proper footage finding its way online by the end of the year seems highly likely. After hardcore fans rejected Paul Feig's female cast, it will be interesting to see what they make of a younger group.
Check back here tomorrow for our full interview with the
Captain Marvel stars.
