Well, yeah.
He's been the co-main with Stay Puft since the beginning and took the lead as early as Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters (1988) (aka Real Ghostbusters Season 4).

Director and co-writer Gil Kenan told Empire that he sees Frozen Empire entering the post-Gozerian era:
The article also has a photo of Peter Venkman and Gary Grooberson in the firehouse's basement.
“Because the Spengler family story drove the narrative in Afterlife, bringing Gozer back to centre-stage was a natural way to close the book on the past. But we are now in the post-Gozerian era of the Ghostbusters saga, so that means we’re able to stretch out and create an entirely new mythology. And that’s thrilling as a storyteller, because there are all-new and terrifying stakes with fresh visual references to draw on.”
I'm glad they paid their obligations with the last one and am looking forward to this next entry with presumably less baggage and a new(er) vision. I often find the second entry by the same team to be the more intriguing one especially when it comes to reboots as the filmmakers put more of their own stamp on it.
Too bad they didn't do it with with Star Trek Into Darkness
Oh, I think JJ Abrams put his stamp on Into Darkness, that's the movie he wanted to make
I hope the old team is in this one a bit more. I'm ok with the new people, but I don't think Afterlife quite did the "pass the torch" correctly. The whole movie was just a buildup for the last 15 minutes.
I am glad they aren't going back to Gozer again. There's so much more than can be done, we can move on from that. Gozer is done.

I felt it was quite brilliant what they did. Obviously, Afterlife played off quite differently, and I think it was done on purpose, to give the kids and viewers a sense of discovery, playing off more like a drama/adventure movie. When the old crew appears, that sense of whimsy returns, setting up the tone for a followup.
Agreed and I think they did such a great job at passing the torch (but with the option of Winston returning to help them set-up in New York) that I was surprised that all of them are returning again. The roles and dynamics are different this time around and I'm all for it.
Yeah, I felt that it was just about the only way they could have done it given the long gap in time. The change in tone at the end when they all show up makes you realize how much they were missed.
Frozen Empire will feature on the March cover of Empire magazine, with two exclusive covers.

Woo-Hoo!
Fuck YEAH!
I've always wanted more Janine and my sole disappointment with Afterlife is that she only got one (but wonderful!) scene.
Plus, we already know can Annie Potts kick ass thanks to Toy Story 4.

its a little unclear because its not a Starbucks at the end of Afterlife, when Winston parks the Ecto 1 back inside. Its possible Ray heard it was going to be turned into one, then the deal fell through, but Ray was deliberately avoiding the area, so never found out it didn't happen.
