Take a look at Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s new Slimer-like ghost Muncher

January 21, 2021 by Matt Rodgers

Tidbits about Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife have been flying around the internet like spooks released from the Ecto Containment Unit by a meddling Walter Peck, and now we’ve got a better look at one of the new ghosts who’ll be vying for the title of the new Slimer when the pandemic delayed blockbuster is eventually released.

Initially glimpsed in the first Afterlife trailer, this blue blob has now been tracked down by the Ghostbusters News site (via Bloody Disgusting), and revealed to be a ghost by the name of Muncher.

Like a cross between Slimer and the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, the multi-limbed Muncher made his appearance on the Spanish version of Junior Masterchef, with a section of the show acting as an official tie-in to Ghostbusters: Afterlife. You can watch the segment below…

From writer and director Jason Reitman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the next chapter in the Ghostbusters universe and follows a single mother and her two children who arrive in a small town and begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is directed by Jason Reitman and stars Carrie Coon (The Leftovers), Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel), Paul Rudd (Avengers: Endgame), Bokeem Woodbine (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Celeste O’Connor (Wetlands), Oliver Cooper (Mindhunter) and newcomer Logan Kim, along with returning Ghostbusters cast members Dan Aykroyd (Ray Stantz), Bill Murray (Peter Venkman), Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore), Sigourney Weaver (Dana Barrett), and Annie Potts (Janine Melnitz).
