Who ya gonna call?

Those of you on the fence about the upcoming Ghostbusters remake might now be having second Thor-ts.

Chris Hemsworth, who played the Nordic superhero in Marvel flicks such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, has been snapped up by director Paul Feig.

However, in a far cry from many of his earlier roles, Hemsworth will play a receptionist.

Feig revealed the news via his Twitter account.

The remake of the 80s classic has garnered attention for its all-female lead cast, but the Aussie actor is poised to reinvent a role of ‘Janine’, played by Annie Potts in the original film.

At least we assume it’s a reinvention, though perhaps Hemsworth is versatile enough to bring back Janine’s thick glasses and high-pitched voice.
