Well , gall not , rooter of Ghostbusters . verbalize toThe Hollywood Reporter , Afterlife cobalt - superstar Finn Wolfhard made a point to explicate that the drone does n’t quite do the movie justice . “ The house trailer only showed some of it , but it ’s a Ghostbusters movie . So , it ’s a really risible film , ” he say . “ Every view has comedy in it . I ’m excited for masses to see more of the humor in the movie . ”

In Afterlife , Wolfhard ( advantageously known for Stranger Things and It ) plays Trevor , the son of Callie ( Carrie Coon ) and brother of Phoebe ( McKenna Grace ) , who are probably all related to original Ghostbusters fibre Egon Spengler . Wolfhard ’s verbal description of his character give us a hint as to where some of that mood comes from .

“ Yeah , he ’s a passably dumb persona , ” Wolfhard joked . “ It ’s not that he ’s written speechless , he ’s just a dumb stripling and whole uninitiate . Everything is manner over his head . He ’s obsessed with cars and girl . So , it ’s really fun to play him . ”
