THOR's Chris Hemsworth Joins GHOSTBUSTERS Reboot As The Team's Receptionist

See what they did there? In keeping with the gender-bending shenanigans of Paul Feig's all-female Ghostbusters flick, Chris Hemsworth has been cast as the receptionist to the Ghost-hunting foursome.

Reports are coming in that Chris Hemsworth (Thor, the Avengers movies, Snow White and the Huntsman) has been cast in Paul Feig's all-female Ghostbusters reboot as the receptionist. In the original movies that character was the ever-snarky Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts), who was hopelessly smitten with Egon (Harold Ramis) and provided plenty of laughs.

We don't actually have a name for Hemsworth's counterpart, but he'll appear next to Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon as the titular spook-wranglers, and will no doubt ensure they always have enough staples.

You can still catch the Aussie actor in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and he'll next be seen in the new Vacation movie. Feig’s Ghostbusters is set for release in July of 2016.

This is clearly female bait, like the whole movie is trying to bank on that feminist high.



And considering the success of Pitch Perfect 2, they're probably in for some sequels.

Man I'm cool with this, as I see it is this IS happening and we better get use to it, just happy of three things, Paul Fieg, the Cast minus the big girl that froze during a snl sketch, and the fact Emma stone was left out. ( Heard she was up for the African American Ghostbuster). Anyways love this casting of Chris, guy has range can't wait for him in the new Vacation Movie!!!

Seems more like he should be in the Sigourney Weaver part. They need someone nerdy but cute for the receptionist. A Justin Long type.

I would have chosen an effeminate male comedian, but hey, maybe Thor will kill it!

I know, silly right? Women are stupid... they shouldn't be IN movies let alone have movies made that FOCUS on them. The team should be male, receptionist female...that's how it was, that's how it always should be dammit!
