The reboot starred Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon as a team of ghostbusters who try to stop a paranormal invasion. Speaking to The Guardian, Feig noted that the film came out during a particularly tense presidential election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to People in July, Dan Aykroyd defended the film as part of the Ghostbusters franchise and said he is “proud” to have worked on the reboot as a producer. “I liked the movie Paul Feig made with those spectacular women,” he said.
