Iconic Ghostbusters character Stay Puft Marshmallow Man can now be seen “invading” London’s Waterloo Station to promote the movie’s reboot.
The pesky but beloved blimp returns in the new movie, which opened in UK cinemas yesterday (July 11), where he causes trouble for the new Ghostbusters crew featuring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.

London’s Waterloo Station has also been dribbled with fake-slime to promote the reboot from Bridesmaids/Spy director Paul Feig. Former Parks And Recreation writer Katie Dippold co-wrote the screenplay with Feig.
