Jason Statham To Star In Ghostbusters 3? Dan Aykroyd Says Yes
Ghostbusters has been the talk of the town recently with speculation that an all-female cast is in development for a brand new take on the classic, but according to the film’s original star Dan Aykroyd, there are a number of British actors who would be perfect for the next installment, notably Jason Statham whom he’s a big fan of.
Earlier this month, Bill Murray revealed his dream cast for the third chapter and now Aykroyd, who starred in the first Ghostbusters film in 1984 and has signed on to write the script for the third film, has weighed in with his suggestions and it looks as though he’s looking overseas for fresh faces. “There is so much talent coming out of the UK but I would love to see Jason Statham as a Ghostbuster in some capacity. He's a lot of fun,” Aykroyd told London Live.
The actor added of their plans to take Ghostbusters beyond the big screen: "We’re thinking, you know, much bigger than just the third movie, we’re thinking, 'how can we make Ghostbusters last another 20 years?’ My whole thinking with Ghostbusters now is, it's beyond just another sequel, a prequel, another TV show. I'm thinking what does the whole brand mean to Sony? What does Pixar and Star Wars mean to Disney? What does Marvel mean to Fox?”

He continued: "And all of us on the team now, the executives, the creatives, Ivan [Reitman, the director] and myself. We're thinking what do we build this thing into in the next 10 years? Not just another movie or another TV show, but what's the totality of it? The whole mythology from the beginning of their lives, the end of their lives. Ghostbusters at nine years old, Ghostbusters in High School.”
Among the actresses who Murray wanted to see kick some ghost ass in the sequel, included Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Emma Stone, but whoever ends up starring in the film, will undoubtedly be a surprise.
