Ghostbusters has added a new cast member: Cecily Strong, another Saturday Night Live regular.

American comedy sometimes feels like the who’s-who of SNL, for better and sometimes for worse.

While the NBC staple has a knack for collecting funny people, sometimes the movies that come out of their collective minds feel like hour-long inside jokes, with familiar faces doing repetitive gags.

But we don’t believe that’ll be the case with Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters reboot – after all, to remake something as important as Ghostbusters, you’ve got to have a damn strong creative vision, right? Right?

The all-female cast of the reboot was revealed last month: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon will pick up the mantle from Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, the four original Ghostbusters.

Film Divider has now learned that Cecily Strong has joined the film, and that she’ll have a “key supporting role.”

The article describes her character as, “an authority figure who liaises with our heroines, privately backing their activities and acknowledging their legitimacy, but publicly denouncing the group to the media in order to avoid panic amongst the wider populous.”

Paul Feig has apparently carved out this role, which doesn’t sound like it’s based on any original Ghostbusters character, specifically for Strong.

Ghostbusters is set to be released on July 22, 2016.
