Actually, we got two – and it’s our first look at [Melissa McCarthy](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MelissaMcCarthy,00.html "undefined"), [Kristen Wiig](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:KristenWiig,00.html "undefined") and [Kate McKinnon](http://www.people.com/article/kate-mckinnon-hillary-clinton-saturday-night-live "undefined") in character, in costume, and on set of the new _Ghostbusters_ reboot. In the first photo, we see McCarthy hauling what appears to be the new “Ghost Trap” (or possibly a large computer hard drive), and Kate McKinnon in paint-splattered overalls and a pair of steam punk shades, looking like she just got back from a long weekend at Burning Man. Shooting a separate scene, we see Wiig dressed in a scholarly plaid skirt and matching blazer – an outfit vaguely reminiscent of the [traumatized librarian](https://youtu.be/KMYgwGrv%5FAY?t=38s "undefined") in the opening scene of the first film. While we don’t know much about their roles, the ladies’ getups echo [Dan Aykroyd’s](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:DanAykroyd,00.html "undefined") recent comments that the new Ghostbusters are “just such different characters, and there’s a friction – there’s a dynamic there.” As for whether we can expect any cameos from the original cast, director Paul Feig tells PEOPLE, “I know they are all happy about it but who knows, I’d love it but we’re figuring it out. We want to make it our own but also give nods to the fans of the movies.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/melissa-mccarthy-kristen-wiig-kate-mckinnon-ghostbusters-set-photos "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined") [_Download TIME’s mobile app for iOS to have your world explained wherever you go_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/time-mobile/id328218429 "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3928120/first-photos-ghostbusters-reboot-set/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3928120/first-photos-ghostbusters-reboot-set/"},"headline":"Here Are First Photos of Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig From Ghostbusters Reboot Set","datePublished":"2015-06-19T14:01:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:21:43.230Z","description":"Finally","url":"https://time.com/3928120/first-photos-ghostbusters-reboot-set/","keywords":["movies","Ghostbusters","Kate McKinnon","Kristen Wiig","melissa mccarthy"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Michael Miller / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3928120/first-photos-ghostbusters-reboot-set/","name":"Here Are First Photos of Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig From Ghostbusters Reboot Set"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"100 Years of Blockbusters in 5 Minutes","description":"Time has taken the highest grossing film each year for the past century and crammed them into 5 and a half minutes.
