Slimer, a familiar face from the original Ghostbusters movie in 1984 and its 1989 sequel, has been a beloved yet troublesome character throughout the franchise's history. Despite his mischievous nature, Slimer has always been more of a playful nuisance than a true villain, and fans can expect this endearing trait to continue in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Additionally, Slimer has made appearances in the Ghostbusters: The Video Game and the franchise's IDW comic series, further solidifying his status as an iconic figure within the Ghostbusters universe.

The New Villain: Garraka

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire introduces an original villain, Garraka, marking the first appearance of this antagonist in the franchise. Funko merch details have unveiled Garraka's name, but the full extent of this new threat remains shrouded in mystery, as footage from the movie has yet to fully reveal the character. The trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire hints at Garraka's ominous presence in New York City, with the menacing 'death chill' posing a significant threat. Moreover, the potential malfunction of the ghost containment unit adds an element of suspense to the looming showdown between the Ghostbusters and this enigmatic adversary.

The Anticipated Showdown

With the return of original actors Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, as well as more recent franchise additions Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, McKenna Grace, and Finn Wolfhard, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire promises an electrifying clash between legacy characters and newcomers. The tantalizing prospect of Slimer once again causing mischief and mayhem, combined with the looming threat of Garraka's 'death chill,' sets the stage for an exhilarating showdown in New York City. As audiences eagerly await the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the anticipation for the epic confrontation between the Ghostbusters and their formidable adversaries continues to build, promising an enthralling cinematic experience for fans of all ages.
