The cast of Ghostbusters: Afterlife features mostly new names, but because it shares its universe with the original movies, several classic characters will return. This includes Dan Aykroyd as Ray, marking the third time on the big screen he will be seen in that role, though he also played a cab driver in Paul Feig’s reboot in 2016. Speaking with THR in a new interview, here’s how Aykroyd described suiting up as Ray Stantz once again after so many years.

“It was full joy, wall to wall. What a privilege to be asked back to do that. It was creative satisfaction working again with Ernie [Hudson], Bill [Murray] and Sigourney [Weaver]. If it weren’t for Jason and Ivan, I don’t know if we would have had the magnificent cast. To hang with brothers like that, family, it’s always fun – memories of good and maybe bad. Some [previous] friction came from how long we had to wear those proton packs and the level of complaint we issued.”

You can catch Dan Aykroyd back in the role of Ray Stantz this month, as Ghostbusters: Afterlife is set to be released in movie theaters on Nov. 19, 2021.
