I live in a world where every film needs a little Paul Rudd so whenever I hear he’s going to be in something, I’m all in. Well my personal casting dreams were answered this morning because Paul Rudd has officially joined Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters.
The news was confirmed on the official Ghostbusters Twitter page with a video featuring Paul Rudd himself that can be viewed here:

Paul Rudd will be playing a teacher in a small town in a new chapter in the Ghostbusters universe written by Reitman and Gil Kenan. The story centers on a single mom and her children. Carrie Coon is in talks to play the mom. Finn Wolfhard is in talks to play her son. Mckenna Grace rounds out the family.
Ghostbusters begins shooting this season for an anticipated release next summer.
