It seems if you can't do anything new for a franchise film, then go back to the original film and cherry-pick characters, regardless of how big/small their role is, and use them in the new film. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is doing the exact same thing. Having to strip-mine the original film like this shows a lack of new and fresh ideas.

It’s about time. My pick for recasting is Kevin Bacon.

Beat me — and I’m sure several others — to it. |

Why would they bring back such a minor, one off character?

Why would they bring back such a minor, one off character? Because they are creatively bankrupt at this point? |

Indeed he is. Even before reading it, I was surprised he never came back in one of the film sequels since he's pretty much responsible for everything going wrong in the first one. See, I care about you, Dodgson. :/ |

Bring back Wayne Knight
Have a room full of cloned Nedrys.
That would make an interesting plot.

Bring back Samuel Jackson, they could make some half assesed excuse for his "death": "Oh that arm actually belonged to some other black guy that was never seen or mentioned"

I heard of that movie before, but in sincerity I just thought he’d been decent casting. Thanks for trying to make me look smarter though! |

In that case I strongly recommend The Woodsman, Bacon is superb in it. |

They’re only bringing him back so they can make a “We got Dodgson here” joke as a callback. I can feel it.
