"I'm not going to lie, working with Melissa (McCarthy), and Kristen (Wiig), and Kate (McKinnon) was really dope. But I got to work with Slimer, dude. Like Slimer!!! I'm in a scene with Slimer! I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan and it was a dream come true."
This is huge news for both fans of the franchise and the reboot has a whole as Slimer was a fan favorite from the original. Williams also goes into to detail about his upcoming role, which he plays as an FBI agent who works for the mayor.
“I play the FBI agent who works for the mayor,” revealed Williams when he popped into the Entertainment Weekly Radio studios on Thursday. “Our whole thing is, we’re going to tell the people it was a flash in the sky and ‘Run along little women with your ghosts, we got this.’ That was a dream job. They’re at the top of their game, man. I had the pleasure of working with Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon on a show on IFC called Spoils Before Dying. So, I had a relationship with them already. Leslie Jones, you meet her once, you feel you’ve known her your whole life. She penetrates any walls or any barriers you may have, she goes right through that, right to your heart chakra. And Melissa, she’s just a gem. I have so much respect for these ladies.”
Even without seeing the new female cast of Ghostbusters in action, it's not hard to get excited, especially with the promise of a first full-length trailer debuting on March 3, 2016, for more Ghostbuster news stick with GameZone.
