Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has left fans buzzing with excitement over its mid-credits scene that hints at what's to come in the franchise's future. The latest installment in the Ghostbusters series introduces the Spengler family taking on the ghostbusting business and facing off against the formidable entity known as Garraka.
The Frozen Empire ending sees both the original and new teams successfully defeating Garraka and saving the world. However, the post-credits scene reveals the mischievous Mini-Pufts stealing a delivery truck filled with Stay-Puft marshmallows, setting the stage for potential chaos in the next installment.
In a recent interview, the co-writer/director of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire teased that there is more trouble brewing with the Mini-Pufts and hinted at a specific storyline planned for the next movie. The mid-credits scene serves as a setup for what's to come, indicating that the franchise has more stories to tell.
The introduction of the Mini-Pufts in Ghostbusters: Afterlife was a nostalgic nod to the franchise's legacy, and their antics in Frozen Empire hint at a larger role in the future. The possibility of the Mini-Pufts attempting to recreate the giant Stay-Puft marshmallow monster from the original Ghostbusters adds an intriguing twist to the storyline.
With the containment unit failing and releasing decades worth of spirits into New York City, the stage is set for a potential new threat in the Ghostbusters universe. The increased paranormal activity could lead to a destructive force akin to the emotion-fueled slime from the second movie, presenting a new challenge for the ghostbusting teams.
Regardless of the direction the filmmakers choose to take, the positive reception of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire suggests that a sequel could be a box office hit. Fans can look forward to seeing how the story unfolds for Phoebe, Trevor, Podcast, and the rest of the ghost hunters as they navigate the supernatural world with humor and heart.
