McCarthy and Wiig previously starred in Feig's hit "Bridesmaids."
Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the original "Ghostbusters" film.
A "Ghostbusters" reboot/sequel has been in the works for a long time. Originally, the film was supposed to reunite original stars Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Davis with director Ivan Reitman.
After the death of Ramis in Feb. 2014, Reitman decided to step out of the directing chair.
Feig announced the new "Ghostbusters" movie will hit theaters July 22, 2016.
The new film will begin shooting in New York this summer, according to THR.
