The hunky Australian is known more for his action roles in "Thor" and "Snow White and the Huntsman," but seems to be expanding into more comedies, starting with next month's "Vacation" sequel.
Feig, who directed "Bridesmaids," first tweeted the news of the female-led "Ghostbusters" last October.
"It's official," he wrote. "I'm making a new Ghostbusters & writing it with @katiedippold & yes, it will star hilarious women. That's who I'm gonna call."
