The Stay-Puft marshmallow men are adorable.
A new clip from the highly-anticipated Ghostbusters: Afterlife reveals the return of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man… in miniature form. The latest installment in the beloved paranormal comedy franchise has been a long time coming, especially since it’s being positioned as a direct sequel to the original two films from the 80s. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was once slated to premiere in the summer of 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic pushed it back to this year. The film has been dealt multiple 2021 release dates and currently remains scheduled for November 11. Hopefully, this one will stick.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife follows a single mom (Carrie Coon) and her two kids (Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace) as they move into their late grandfather’s home and slowly discover their family’s ties to the Ghostbusters. Strange events force the kids to pick up where their grandpa left off in carrying on the Ghostbusters legacy. Afterlife will see the returns of all original Ghostbusters stars, save for Rick Moranis (potentially) and the late Harold Ramis.
Perhaps hinting at the upcoming arrival of a new trailer, Ghostbusters: Afterlife has unveiled a new teaser that harkens back to the franchise’s past while also tying into the future. In the clip, Paul Rudd’s Ghostbusters newcomer Mr. Grooberson is out shopping when he discovers some tiny little menaces: Miniature Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men. They seem cute at first, but it doesn’t take long for chaos to ensue. Check out the clip down below.
