In the same report, EW has disclosed some information about the villains that will appear in the upcoming reboot. According to EW, “dead criminals from all eras of New York’s underbelly past” are returning to haunt the living in the reboot. The villains that the 4 formidable female busters will square off against also include “pilgrims, old-timey sailors, Revolutionary War spirits, and even a couple of zoot-suited gangsters”.
The plot will centre on Abby Yates (played by Melissa McCarthy) and Erin Gilbert (played by Kristen Wiig), the 2 leading ladies who, years ago, wrote a book about the existence of ghosts. Fast forward to the present, Erin, who is teaching in the prestigious Columbia University, was laughed out of academia after her book resurfaced.
As for Abby, she is working alongside Jillian Holtzman (played by Kate McKinnon). They end up joining forces with Erin and Patty (played by Leslie Jones) to save the Big Apple from the villains.
“Thor” star Chris Hemsworth will be playing a receptionist named Kevin in the all-female-driven flick. Neil Casey also joined the cast as the main antagonist while Andy Garcia will play the Mayor of New York City. Matt Walsh and Michael K. Williams will play “Rourke” and “Hawkins” respectively. New York City’s NY1 news anchor Pat Kiernan is rumoured to be making a cameo appearance as well.
