After first appearing in the original Ghostbusters, the "focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm" took on new life in the animated series as a sidekick to the team. But where kids of the 90's might know Slimer best from Hi-C's Ecto Cooler drink which might be seeing a return when the new movie comes out.
While based off the trailer we're not sure what role Slimer will play in the film, and at the end of the day he might just be a neat little Easter egg for fans of the franchise.
The main Ghostbusters cast includes Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones. Costarring in the film are Andy Garcia, Cecily Strong, Michael K. Williams, Matt Walsh, Chris Hemsworth and Neil Casey. Original Ghostbusters cast members Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts Sigourney and Dan Aykroyd will all make a cameo.
