Near the end of the first “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” trailer, a tall, horned creature with glowing eyes can be seen floating through a strange doorway. Several moments earlier, the teaser shows what is likely the same icy, pale-skinned monster shoving a horn into the side of its own skull. Right now, it seems safe to assume that the creature featured in both of these scenes is the main villain of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” and, therefore, the source of its devastating and deadly winter storm.
No information has been revealed about the character in question, including whether it’s an entirely new entity or a revamp of a previously established antagonist. Two years ago, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” famously brought back Gozer, so it seems unlikely that “Frozen Empire” will similarly revisit one of its franchise’s previous villains. That possibility certainly isn’t out of the question, though. There are, in fact, some fans who think that the film’s villain could be a riff on an obscure character from the “Ghostbusters World” mobile game.
Odds are, viewers won’t know whether or not that’s really the case until “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” hits theaters on March 29, 2024.
