Hot on the heels of impressing in Captain Marvel, Mckenna Grace could well be joining the upcoming new Ghostbusters movie.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, the young actress is in talks for a major role in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3. Grace has previous with things that go bump in the night; her having played the younger version of Theo in Netflix’s mesmerising The Haunting of Hill House.

If Mckenna Grace does indeed sign on for the picture, she’ll join a cast that currently features Carrie Coon and Finn Wolfhard as a single mother and her son. Right now, that is the only information we have on the film at this early stage.

Jason Reitman – the son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman – has put together a screenplay with Gil Kenan, and the plan is for this new movie to head into production this summer ahead of July 2020 release.

The current word is that Ghostbusters 3 will serve as a direct follow-up to the world of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II but will ignore the happenings of 2016’s female-driven reboot.
