Considering we haven’t even seen a trailer yet, we still have many questions about Paul Feig’s upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, and we can’t help but wonder if Slimer will be popping up for an appearance. Feig shot down rumors of a cameo some time ago, but now it seems he was throwing us off the scent. Read on!

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Michael K. Williams spilled the beans.

I play the FBI agent who works for the mayor,” revealed Williams. “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.”

Now comes the exciting part.

I’m not going to lie; working with Melissa and Kristen and Kate was really dope,” added the actor. “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.”

Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones are our new paranormal investigators along with their loyal secretary Chris Hemsworth. Neil Casey, Andy Garcia, Michael K. Williams, Matt Walsh, Pat Kiernan, Cecily Strong, and Charles Dance also star. Cameos will include the original film’s stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts. Plus Ozzy Osbourne.

The Ghostbusters reboot will haunt the big screen on July 15, 2016.

Synopsis:
Dead criminals from all eras of New York’s under­belly past have returned to roost among the living. Pilgrims, old-­timey sailors, Revolutionary War spirits, and even a couple of zoot­-suited gangsters are ready to take on four formidable female busters looking to rid the city of its phantasmic filth.
