The iconic ghost-fighting group is returning with an all-female ensemble in "Ghostbusters 3,"and the movie has found its bad guy in actor-writer Neil Casey.

Deadline got the scoop that "Ghostbusters 3" has just cast "Saturday Night Live" writer Neil Casey to play its main villain. Aside from Casey's character's name, Rowan, no other details have been leaked about the movie's antagonist. Deadline, however, noted Rowan's uncanny resemblance to the "Ghostbusters 2" villain, Janosz Poha.

Janosz (pronounced Yanosh) was played by Peter MacNicol in the 1989 sequel and was initially harmless as Dana Barrett's (Sigourney Weaver) boss at the Manhattan Museum of Art. But he was possessed by the spirit of Vigo the Carpathian and cannot do anything but follow the spirit's bidding.

With the uncanny resemblance between MacNicol's Janos and Casey, movie insiders speculate the connection between the two villains. For now, these are all but speculations though.

The original "Ghostbusters" movie came out in 1984 and starred Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis. It created a cult following that lead to a 1989 sequel, several animated TV series, and some video games.

Actresses Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Kristen Wiig have been cast as the four parapsychlogists that form the Ghostbusters. They will be joined by their secretary played by Chris Hemsworth, who will be the male version of Janine Melnit (originally played by Annie Potts) in the film. The new movie will be directed by Paul Feig, who also co-wrote the script with Kate Dippold.

It was earlier revealed that the all-female group will be fighting ghosts, ghouls, and spirits in costumes designed by superhero and sci-fi veterans: concept artist Keith Christensen and costume designer Krista Guggia. The proton pack, the generic Ghostbuster tool, was also unveiled by director Feig in a separate Twitter post.

"Ghostbusters 3" is slated for a July 22, 2016 premiere.
