If there's one thing the promotional images of the upcomign Ghostbusters reboot have shown us, it's that this new all-female squad definitely ain't afraid of no ghosts.
Yesterday, we got a fresh look at the new Ghostubsters — Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon — standing in what appeared to be a haunted building. And now, each of them have gotten their own character posters, further emphasizing the notion that this will be a darker, grittier version of the Ghostbusters we're used to seeing. Of course, this could just be promotional material to reinforce the idea just because we're getting an all-female Ghostbusters, doesn't mean they can't be any less badass than their male counterparts. Who really knows until we get our first trailer. In the meantime, take a look at each of the character posters below.
Kristen Wiig – Erin Gilbert
"Particle physicist, academic firebrand, spectral warrior."
