New Ghostbusters character posters show off the team

We haven't heard much from Paul Feig's Ghostbusters since the first trailer dropped online almost two months ago, but that will be changing as we near the film's July release date. In the meantime, Sony have unveiled some new character posters showing our new heroes in action.

Check them out below...

The colourful new images include quotes that will be familiar to anyone who viewed the first trailer, and while Melissa McCarthy's own one sheet is missing you can expect her poster (and likely a new trailer) fairly soon as Sony start to ramp up the marketing for their summer blockbuster.

Directed by Paul Feig and starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth, Ghostbusters opens in UK and US cinemas on July 15, 2016.
