Who you gonna call? Apparently Saturday Night Live.

The possible cast for the all-female remake of Ghostbusters was made public Tuesday when director Paul Feig tweeted an image of Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that McCarthy is officially on board while the other three are in negotiations, though they are expected to sign on.

The cast isn't too much of a surprise considering Feig's biggest hits of late have been 2011's Bridesmaids featuring Wiig and McCarthy, and 2013's The Heat, also starring McCarthy. The Ghostbusters cast will also be an SNL family affair, considering Jones and McKinnon are currently featured players of the show's cast and Wiig previously was.

Feig confirmed in October 2014 that his reboot would star all women, after adding well-known comedy writer Katie Dippold to the film's staff. Dippold and Feig also worked together on The Heat.

The film is scheduled to start shooting this summer in New York City.
