Fans will also get to play with the Lego version of the girls’ rides, namely the Ecto-1 and Ecto-2. Both vehicles will be available this summer, according to Lego. The set also features a mini-figure of the team’s assistant Kevin, played by Chris Hemsworth.
Hemsworth earned praises this week for rocking the nerdy look, seen on the latest “Ghostbusters” images released by Sony Pictures. Fans approved of the Australian actor’s photo, which showed him donning a polka-dot polo, maroon tie, black vest and black rim glasses. The film outfit also circulated photos of the ghost-busting ladies, completely suited up, as well as close-up individual shots of each female lead.
Prior to Sony’s release, “Ghostbusters” director Paul Feig already shared photos while filming the reboot. In one post on his Twitter account, Feig uploaded a photo of the beloved “Ghostbusters” uniform.
Feig also took to Twitter to share that Sigourney Weaver, who was among the original “Ghostbusters” cast, will appear in the new movie.
Other original cast who will make cameos in the film include Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts, according to Consequence of Sound.
The new “Ghostbusters” is scheduled to release on July 15. The film also stars Andy Garcia, Neil Casey, Matt Walsh, Michael K. Williams, and Cecily Strong.
