Behold your new all-female Ghostbusters.

Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy have worked with Feig before in Bridesmaids;Â Â McKinnon and Jones are known for Saturday Night Live.
The third Ghostbusters movie will be a reboot; however, Feig hasnât ruled out using the original cast members in new roles.

Feig also previously responded to the âhatersâ by telling them Ghostbusters 3 wonât ruin their childhoods.
