Director Paul Heig has confirmed another original “Ghostbusters” cast member will be joining his reboot. Heig wrote on twitter:

Gang, trying to keep surprises but this is about to leak, so I’ll tell you myself: the awesome Sigourney Weaver is going to be in our movie!

This comes after the news of Ernie Hudson‘s cameo in the film. Sony has been tight lipped about Hudson’s role in the film, and same goes for Sigourney Weaver‘s character. It is unclear whether or not they will reprise their roles as Winston Zeddemore (Hudson) and Dana Barrett (Weaver). But, as of right now none of the original “Ghostbusters” characters will be appearing in Kevin Feig’s new version.

The reboot stars Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert, Kate McKinnon as Jillian Holtzman, Melissa McCarthy as Abby Yates and Leslie Jones as Patty Tolan. Chris Hemsworth will play a secretary named Kevin. Andy Garcia, Mickael K. Williams, Matt Walsh, and Neil Casey will also star.

Heig’s reboot is set to hits theaters on July 22, 2016.
