In Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" reboot, it's pretty expected that the new four female busters will be fighting off a variety of dead criminals around New York. But that's not even their biggest challenge: Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are up against some real life bad guys.
Aside from the old-time gangsters, sailors, Pilgrims, and Revolutionary Wars spirits they would fight off, the four comediennes are currently facing some sexist criticisms on social media about the new reboot. Entertainment Weekly explains:
"In addition to facing down ectoplasmic felons, stars Melisa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones have had to combat sexist social media rants about why women can't possibly fight celluloid spirits as well as Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray did back in 1984. So the pressure is on, both on screen and off."
"If this doesn't work, we go back and lose our [right to] vote," McCarthy jokes. "I'm talking pre-suffragette."
However, that doesn't seem likely to happen at all, given that McCarthy, Wiig, and Feig dominated the box office back in 2011 with the comedy, "Bridesmaids." In fact, Yahoo! News even says that everyone is definitely waiting for "Ghostbusters" to come out:
"With acclaimed comedic director Paul Feig overseeing two of the funniest film stars on the planet in McCarthy and Wiig, as well as two 'Saturday Night Live' cast members, you'd have expected the upcoming 'Ghostbusters' reboot to be hugely anticipated."
On the other hand, Feig's reboot of the "Ghostbusters" franchise still seems promising, even if a trailer - let alone a teaser trailer - hasn't been released yet, although that might soon change as well.
According to Polygon, "director Paul Feig does suggest that a trailer may appear sooner than previously thought."
Until the trailer actually comes out, the "Ghostbusters" camp has already released a new photo of the cast clad in the iconic suits as they walk down a street in New York City. Take a look at the EW exclusive photo here.
"Ghostbusters" will hit theatres on July 15.
