The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Jason Reitman's upcoming Ghostbusters sequel has found its star in 12-year-old up-and-comer Mckenna Grace (Captain Marvel; Gifted). 

She joins a cast that recently added Carrie Coon (Avengers: Infinity War), who will play her mother, and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), who will play her older brother.

While plot details are understandably being kept under heavy lock-and-key, the film will be a direct sequel to Ivan Reitman's original Ghostbusters films and the story, which was penned by Jason Reitman (The Front Runner; Tully) and Gil Kenan (Monster House), is said to follow four teens as they find themselves up against the paranormal. 

Filming is expected to begin this summer and Sony has already slated the film for a July 10, 2020 release date.

Cool. I didn't realise Finn Wolfhard was attached to this, he's really growing a monopoly on these kinds of franchises.

Wait, so the 4 Ghostbusters are going to be kids? Or are there even going to be another 4 Ghostbusters?

I really like her on Young Sheldon. She’s definitely an up and comer. But making the Ghostbusters a kid/family affair has destroyed any enthusiasm I had for the movie (which was incredibly high to begin with). Such a shame.

Wait, she is only 12? I really expected her to be older with the amount of projects she's been attached to over the last few years

Still weary on the new Ghostbusters being kids, but it really comes down to the type of story they're trying to tell and if it is a good bases then... well they can do plenty of films given how young they are.

I was hoping for later teens at the most though ala Extreme Ghostbusters but eh as long as this film can at least capture the tone and type of comedy unlike the one we shall not speak of then I'm good with it.

She was fantastic in Hill House & Gifted. I feel like her talents were wasted in Captain Marvel. She also had a blink-and-you-miss-it part in Ready Player One. She played an elementary school student crying at a desk.
