Bill Murray has revealed that he would like to see a girl Ghostbuster in the new movie.

The actor declared an interest in making a third instalment in the franchise last month, but told MTV that he would like to see a female pick up the famed proton pack.

He said: "I think it'd be funny to have a girl Ghostbuster. We don't have a girl Ghostbuster. I mean, they say like, 'What if you passed it to Chris Rock?' And I go, 'Well, I dunno. Is Chris Rock gonna save us?' You know, I guess. He's funny."

He added: "I just think there's some funny girls I'd love to see be Ghostbusters."

It was announced last month that Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg will pen the script for the third Ghostbusters film.
