— -- Dan Aykroyd, one of the original four "Ghostbusters," has confirmed he will be in the all-female reboot.

The acting icon, 63, tweeted Tuesday, writing, "On GB set shooting my scene with funny beautiful Kristen Wiig Lady GB's are adorable, hilarious and bada-- Exhilarating #ghostbusters."

The tweet has since been deleted, maybe he revealed too much, but Entertainment Weekly confirmed the role with the actor's reps.

Earlier this year, Ernie Hudson, another original cast member, told ABC News he would be involved in the reboot if the role was right. No word yet on if he or anyone else from the original team will make a cameo in addition to Aykroyd. One can only hope Hudson and possibly a third surviving original Ghostbuster, Bill Murray, will be back.
