If we were to represent the rising level of casting news about Paul Feig’s new Ghostbusters as a Twinkie, it would be…. Well, not huge, but big enough. The ensemble has grown to include writer and actor Neil Casey.

A veteran of Saturday Night Live, a variety of other TV shows and movies (and the web-based Other Space, which was created by Feig), Casey is aboard to play a mysterious character named Rowan who will become one of the big villains of the film. It doesn’t sound like he’s playing a massive supernatural threat (unless he turns into one), so perhaps he’ll be one of the more down-to-earth nuisances that new Ghostbusters Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones have to deal with?

His casting comes on the heels of word that Andy Garcia, Matt Walsh and Michael K. Williams are all aboard the movie, which Feig is currently shooting in Boston. Chris Hemsworth was announced a while ago as playing the assistant to the main characters when they take up the fight against a ghostly invasion of New York. Not until, however, they overcome the skepticism of everyone around them.

They do, at least have some wheels to run around in, as seen in a new picture tweeted by Feig. It'll probably need some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring...
