First Look: Chris Hemsworth’s geeky Ghostbusters makeover

Thor like you've never seen him before.

We suspect a whole lot more people are going to start believing in ghosts once they realise hunky Chris Hemsworth might be the one to help rescue them from something supernatural.

In new photos added to the official Ghostbusters.com website fans of the franchise got their first glimpse of 32-year-old Chris’ deliciously dorky new look for his upcoming role in the film.

Chris, who traded his Thor hammer and cape for glasses and a vest, appears to have gone full geek for his character Kevin, who is thought to be the team’s office manager/secretary – a gender flipped creation of the original film’s Janine.

According to the film’s director Paul Feig the reboot is due to hit theatres mid-this year and a trailer isn’t far away.

The website also shared snaps of the Ghostbuster heroines including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.
