Sigourney Weaver wants to be in the Ghostbusters reboot

Sigourney Weaver is pretty busy nowadays. You can currently see her in Neil Blomkamp's Chappie, and she's on-board for his and Fox's new Alien film they decided to move forward with. While I'll always see her as Ellen Ripley first, she'll always have a place in my heart for her role as Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. 

Now with Paul Feig's all-female cast of the Ghostbusters reboot set, there might be an opportunity to see Weaver return to her old stomping ground. Screen Rant spoke to Weaver during a Chappie press junket in NYC and asked the actress about the Ghostbusters reboot:

SR: I know ‘Ghostbusters’ has made this huge announcement about how they are going to be continuing the franchise. But for a long time, you and the rest of the original cast were kind of on this bubble of, ‘Will you guys be back?’ and now they have kind of gone in this different direction. How do you feel about that?

Weaver: I think that’s awesome. I think it’s great. I think it’s going to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see it.

SR: Will we ever see you pop up anywhere in there?

Weaver: They might have us pop up as marshmallow men or something and then destroy us. I don’t know. I hope they will think of some silly way for us to be in it. Maybe I could play that ancient librarian who goes [makes noise].

I like to think that after the events of Ghostbusters 2, Venkman and Barrett raised baby Oscar. A brief 20-second cameo could be enough for me. Just make sure that all the former, living actors and actresses from Ghostbusters make an appearance.
