Reitman will take a backseat as the sequel writer, while Kenan will direct. Kenan is best known for directing the rebooted Polteriest film in 2015. “It’s an absolute honor to pick up the proton pack and step behind the camera for the next chapter of the Spengler family saga. I just wish I could go back to 1984 and tell the kid in the sixth row of the Mann Valley West that one day he was going to get to direct a Ghostbusters film,” said Kenan.
