Paul Feig's lady Ghostbusters is taking its gender-swapping to new heights -- because in addition to the new team of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones replacing the original Ghostbusters, Thor himself is standing in for Annie Potts' Janine Melnitz, one of the most underrated parts of the original movie. Feig made the announcement on Twitter:

Apparently, the new Ghostbusters' receptionist demanded that his role be expanded in the script before accepting the part, which was accommodated. Hopefully that just means that this version of the team will need to raise some money by doing an extensive calendar shoot with Hemsworth and the next-generation version of Slimer showing off their proton six-packs.
