Paul Rudd is in final negotiations to join Sony’s latest installment of “Ghostbusters.”.
Sources tell Variety Rudd will play a teacher in the film.
Carrie Coon is also in talks for the not-so-secret project along with “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard and “Gifted” star Mckenna Grace.
Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the original “Ghostbusters,” will step into the director’s chair.
“I’ve been wanting to work with Paul Rudd since my short film opened for ‘Wet Hot American Summer’ at Sundance.
I’m thrilled he’ll be joining this new chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe,” said Jason Reitman.
Rudd, who’s repped by UTA and Lighthouse Management and Media, is coming off a Marvel-ous stretch with “Avengers: Endgame.” »
