In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kenan broke down the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s mid-credits scene. 

The co-writer and director revealed the future of Mini-Pufts as well. The scene sees Mini-Pufts stealing a truck, which looks all fun, but there is "more trouble where that came from" as Kenan says. He also teases how he along with Jason Reitman plans to co-write the potential next installment with a specific storyline. 

Kenan shared during that interview, “Jason and I definitely have a story up our sleeves that continues that narrative thread. There's more trouble where that came from. Nothing we can talk about yet, but it feels like those guys have way more story to tell. I love those guys; they’re so fun to direct. [They’re] primadonnas. Their rider is impossible, but it’s worth it for what they do onscreen.”

Kenan has also teased how they already have a Ghostbusters 6 ready for their loyal fans. So the mid-credits scene will be crucial for the franchise. The introduction of Mini-Pufts in  Ghostbusters: Afterlife evokes nostalgia for the legacy, and his inclusion in the mid-credits adds layers to the franchise. While Mini-Pufts might not be the entire catalyst, he will definitely be a starting point.

What is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, all about?


The film is based on Ghostbusters by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
