...suddenly, she looks up from the machine and says she thinks she's got something to the rest of the team. When they all look around she relays the word 'Zuul' to blank faces and shrugs. 

If you're not up on your Ghostbuster's history then Zuul was the Gatekeeper, a demigod that possessed Sigourney Weaver's character in the original movie. It's probably not any sort of sequel hint though as the new Ghostbusters movie is full of easter eggs and references. 

Directed by Paul Feig and starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. Ghostbusters is in cinemas now.
