Following a few more impressive casting additions yesterday, the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot has found a villain in the form of Neil Casey. The actor is best known for working on the likes of Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, and Veep, and his comedic timing is obviously going to come in very handy for Paul Feig’s movie.
There aren’t any specific details about who he will be playing, but a plot synopsis of sorts recently found its way online. That claims that Wiig and McCarthy will play a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. Flash forward a few years and Wiig lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia U. Which is pretty sweet, until her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia.
Wiig later reunites with McCarthy and the other two proton pack-packing phantom wranglers, and she gets some sweet revenge when ghosts invade Manhattan and she and her team have to save the world.
In other Ghostbusters news, Feig has also revealed the first official image of the Ghostbusters car Ecto-1.
That can be seen below along with a set photo which offers up a look at Melissa McCarthy in costume!
