Of Course Ernie Hudson will Appear in the New 'Ghostbusters'


Let's be honest, when even Bill Murray was able to be convinced to return for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters, it was only a matter of time before Ernie Hudson showed up, even though he isn't exactly into the reboot. He'll make a cameo in the film alongside his old pals Murray and Dan Akroyd, just don't expect them to suit up to bust any ghosts.

Hudson was spotted on set Saturday, the last full day of shooting, but there's no word on his role. Murray is expected to play a professional debunker looking to expose Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon's characters as frauds. With Hudson on board that brings back all of the surviving original Ghostbusters, but it's still open as to whether Sigourney Weaver will come back.  The rest of the new film's cast includes Chris Hemsworth, Matt Walsh, Andy Garcia, Michael K. Williams, and Neil Casey.

Ghostbusters opens July 15th 2016. [THR]
