Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones will have some company busting Slimer 2.0!
According to Deadline, in addition to the all-female “Ghostbusters” movie with the all-female comedy all-stars, Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd are planning a slew of future proton-pack-filled movies, including an all-male reboot.
Channing Tatum is reportedly attached as one of the film’s producers and could star in the film.

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” directors Joe and Anthony Russo are also attached to direct the film, which is being described as a counterpart film to the Paul Feig-directed female movie.
The movie will be written by Drew Pearce, who penned “Iron Man 3” and “Mission: Impossible 5.”
“We want to expand the ‘Ghostbusters’ universe in ways that will include different films, TV shows, merchandise, all things that are part of modern filmed entertainment,” Reitman told Deadline. “This is a branded entertainment, a scary supernatural premise mixed with comedy. Paul Feig’s film will be the first version of that, shooting in June to come out in July 2016. He’s got four of the funniest women in the world, and there will be other surprises to come. The second film has a wonderful idea that builds on that. Drew will start writing and the hope is to be ready for the Russo Brothers’ next window next summer to shoot, with the movie coming out the following year. It’s just the beginning of what I hope will be a lot of wonderful movies.”
