Paul Feig Teases New Ghostbusters Cast on Twitter

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.
