With shooting now wrapped on his version of Ghostbusters, you might think that Paul Feig wouldn’t have to worry about leaks from the set. But after the likes of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd’s cameos got out, he’s had to get ahead of one last info-spill, announcing on Twitter that Sigourney Weaver will also show up in some capacity.
Nothing is known about who she’ll be playing in the film – we doubt it’ll be Dana Barrett, since Feig’s film, written with Katie Dippold, spins a different story about the creation of a ghostbusting team – but it’s nice to know that the surviving original leads will all turn up in some capacity, with Ernie Hudson having dropped in on the last day of shooting. Of course, with the Gatekeeper showing up, it sets us hoping that the Keymaster – AKA Rick Moranis (who played Louis Tully in both original films) might have made an appearance, but we’ll have to be patient and see if Feig has been sneaky enough to get him in there.
Gang, trying to keep surprises but this is about to leak, so I'll tell you myself: the awesome Sigourney Weaver is going to be in our movie!

Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon star as the women who must defend New York against a surge in paranormal activity, with Chris Hemsworth, Michael Kenneth Williams, Andy Garcia, Matt Walsh and Neil Casey also all aboard. Feig’s latest will be out on July 15.
Weaver, who was last seen in Chappie, will appear in Juan Antonio Bayona’s A Monster Calls and is attached to James Cameron’s expansive Avatar sequels. She also will likely play Ripley for Neil Blomkamp’s gestating new Alien film, which Ridley Scott addressed recently while talking about Prometheus sequel Alien: Paradise Lost.
