Sigourney Weaver ("Chappie") has been grabbing headlines of left and right. First, she appears to be all set to play Ripley again in Neill Blomkamp's upcoming Alien film, and now she is lobbying for a cameo in Paul Feig's female-led Ghostbusters reboot.

Screen Rant spoke with Weaver, who played Dana Barrett in the original Ghostbusters films. and asked her to share her thoughts on the reboot and if she'll make an appearance in it.

SR: I know 'Ghostbusters' has made this huge announcement about how they are going to be continuing the franchise. But for a long time, you and the rest of the original cast were kind of on this bubble of, 'Will you guys be back?' and now they have kind of gone in this different direction. How do you feel about that?

Weaver: I think that's awesome. I think it's great. I think it's going to be fantastic. I can't wait to see it.

SR: Will we ever see you pop up anywhere in there?

Weaver: They might have us pop up as marshmallow men or something and then destroy us. I don't know. I hope they will think of some silly way for us to be in it. Maybe I could play that ancient librarian who goes [makes noise].

Feig's Ghostbusters is due in theaters on July 22, 2016. The cast includes: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.
