You dont get many opportunities in this world to create aGhostbustersvillain.
And I took on that role with relish, Kenan tellsDen of Geeks paranormal pop culture podcastTalking Strange.
To defeat this threat, the Ghostbusters need more than their tools and their talent.
His first sketches became the template for the character that you met in the film.
These early craftspeople believed that metals had special material properties, Kenan explains.
In particular, they believed in the power of objects to contain spirits or stories.
And those objects have now become artifacts [that] can survive thousands of years.
InFrozen Empire, the primary object is a brass ball that Nadeem finds among his grandmothers possessions.
Such wide possibility brought unique challenges with it, which required mining both old and new mythology.
Ancient metals thus felt uniquely connected toGhostbusters, which has such a tactile sense, observes Kenan.
you’re free to sort of imagine the weight of it on your back.
The tactile nature of the brass ball and theGhostbustersmachinery stems from Kenans experiences in the Hall of Antiquities.
But Kenan himself has experiences with the unexplained that influences his understanding of the metaphysical.
It scared me too.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is in theaters now.
