Mckenna Grace has withdrawn from a scheduled appearance at the “For the Love of Sci-Fi” convention due to filming commitments for the upcoming Ghostbusters sequel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Grace is reprising her acclaimed role as Phoebe Spengler from 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Directed by Gil Kenan and co-written with Jason Reitman, Frozen Empire promises more supernatural hijinks as both old and new Ghostbusters unite against an evil force threatening a second Ice Age in New York City. In addition to Grace, the star-studded cast includes Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, and original Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson.
Grace’s dedication speaks to her commitment to the franchise and her significant role in the new film. While disappointing for fans, her withdrawal highlights the demands of major studio filmmaking.
Frozen Empire’s release date was recently pushed from December 2023 to March 2024 due to industry strikes. However, excitement continues to build after the debut of the official teaser trailer on November 8, revealing the title, synopsis and chilling new threat.
As the young standout of Afterlife, Grace’s performance is hotly anticipated. With filming in full swing, fans are eager to see McKenna Grace back on screens next March as the iconic franchise continues. More updates on Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire are sure to come.
