Production is now officially underway on Sony Pictures' follow-up to Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Afterlife director Jason Reitman - who will move to a producing role for this latest instalment in the franchise - shared a behind-the-scenes photo with the caption, "back in the Firehouse," confirming that we'll be returning to the team's iconic base of operations for this follow-up.
Reitman is pictured alongside Gil Kenan, who will be taking over directing duties.
A rumor did the rounds claiming that the sequel's official title was "Ghostbusters: Hell's Kitchen," but this now appears to have been debunked.
Plot details are still under wraps, but after moving the spooky adventures to a more rural setting for Afterlife, it's been confirmed that we'll be returning to New York City in the next movie.
Main cast members Carrie Coon (Callie Spengler) Finn Wolfhard (Trevor), Mckenna Grace (Phoebe), and Paul Rudd (Gary Grooberson) are expected to return, but it's not clear if Ghostbusters OGs Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson will also reprise their roles - although the latter does seem like a fairly safe bet after the last movie's post-credits scene.
In the stinger, we saw Winston return to the team's old headquarters, where the refurbished ECTO-1 was waiting. Though nothing has been confirmed just yet, the implication was that Zeddemore was planning to train a new group of spook-hunters.
