The upcoming film will ignore Paul Feig’s 2016 female-led reboot in a return to the continuity established in 1984, and will center on a small town family (Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard and Carrie Coon) who have a mysterious connection to characters portrayed by a returning Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts and Ernie Hudson in their original roles.
