Sign onto Tumblr, and I’m sure someone will tell you all about it.The Ghostbusters trailer that debuted last week was notable for featuring almost no male dialogue, paying homage to the original with a cameo from Slimer, and - in the Year of Our Lord 2016 - featuring yet another loud, attitude-ridden Black woman character who I now have to hope and pray turns out to be so much more in the actual film. It comes at a time when we hear questions like “Why don’t Captain Marvel or Black Widow have their own movies?” and “When are we getting a Wonder Woman film?” Fans have clamored for shows like Agent Carter and Supergirl to be renewed. ![]() So much of Ghostbusters 2016’s attention has been focused on its all-female cast, still seen as notable for a science fiction romp.

New Ghostbusters director Paul Feig and cast members Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones have been careful not to spill too much information on the original cast's roles in the reboot. ![]() The Ghostbusters reboot managed to recruit almost all of the original cast members, save for Harold Ramis (Egon Spengler), who died in 2014, and Rick Moranis (Louis Tully) who chose not to return to focus on future projects. ![]() But just which original cast members are in Ghostbusters ? I've got the list right here.
