If you’ve been playing Apex Legends and have yet to part with any of your money, we’ve saved you the hassle of trying to figure out what’s what by spending 100 dollars in Respawn’s battle royale shooter.

When the ultimate payday opportunity comes along, Sharkey sees an opportunity to end his money woes once and for all. That’s about the long and short of it. He may look like a purple Freddie Mercury, but otherwise Sharkey is basically your textbook outlaw protagonist with a heart of gold.

In an interview on Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast (via The Playlist) Reitman, the son of the original films’ director Ivan Reitman, made several comments that perhaps distance this movie from the 2016 reboot. Reitman believes this film will be more in line with the original Ghostbusters films, citing his own attachment to the movies that were made in his youth.
