Variety’s article noted that while there were “rumblings” that Ghostbusters 3 director Jason Reitman was hesitant to include any actors from the Stranger Things cast given that there were similarities between that property and Ghostbusters, he changed his mind after seeing Wolfhard’s audition.
Again, though, neither of these actors have finalized deals just yet.
As for Finn Wolfhard, he’s famous for playing Mike Wheeler in Netflix’s Stranger Things, which recently wrapped up shooting its third season, and Richie Tozier in 2016’s IT, a role he’ll briefly reprise later this year in IT Chapter Two while Bill Hader plays the adult Richie.
Carrie Coon’s notable movie credits include Gone Girl, The Post, Avengers: Infinity War and, most recently, Widows, but the actress is arguably best known for playing Nora Durst in HBO’s The Leftovers and Gloria Burgle in Season 3 of FX’s Fargo.
