Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire star Ernie Hudson has opened up about why one star from the 1984 original refused to return for the newest movies in the growing franchise. The newest movie alongside its predecessor, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, features a new cast of characters within the Spengler family hunting down ghosts and learning of their legacy. However, they also feature the return of the original team, with guest appearances by almost everyone from the original film – except one star that hasn’t shown up in them.
