OK, so this all-female reboot of Ghostbusters just got proper interesting.
The pic above isn't a teaser shot by the way, rather Thor Chris getting doused during one of Jimmy Fallon's many games, but one can only hope that a proton pack gets turned on him while he's sitting behind his desk fielding calls with a strong Queens accent.
Director Paul Feig tweeted this yesterday regarding who would be embodying this incarnation of 'Janine Melnitz' (formerly portrayed by Annie Potts)

Hemsworth will join SNL alums Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Mike and Molly's Melissa McCarthy. Feig previously said of the casting: "Those four ladies I have starring in it are so funny and that’s half the battle. I’m going to battle with the best army I have. My whole crew from all my other movies have come aboard, and some great special effects people have come aboard - I have never really done this level of effects before - and I’m excited!"

The finished product is due for release in July of next year. Will you be heading along to see it, or do you prefer your Ghostbusters films to star Bill Murray?
