It appears as though the principle lineup for Paul Feig's new Ghostbusters film has been set.
The Bridesmaids and The Heat director, who is set to helm Sony's upcoming reboot of the hit comedy franchise, just tweeted out a photograph of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, who are in talks to star as the titular paranormal investigators and eliminators:

Feig has offered no further commentary, and hasn't responded to fan inquiries.
McCarthy and Wiig have been rumored for months, often in connection with Emma Stone, who leaked Sony e-mails indicated was in talks. McKinnon is a name that has come up fairly often as well.
Like the original film, there will be four Ghosbusters as well as both a paranormal threat and a fully-human antagonist, according to rumors. It's unlikely members of the previous "generation" of Ghostbusters will appear, in spite of the fact that a Ghostbusters III with original director Ivan Reitman and stars Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson was in the works for years prior to Ramis' death in 2014.
