Aykroyd has long been quoted to be a fan of the reboot. In an earlier interview this June, he said that "the new one's going to be big!"
The interplay, and with each of them, their individual voices are so well defined," he told Spinoff Online. "They're just such different characters, and there's a friction. There's a dynamic there. I'm not going to spoil it for people, but it's going to be big, big!"
"This one with the four girls is going to be massive. Oh man, it's funny. It's intelligent. It hits the right notes, and I'm really excited about it!"
Aside from Wiig, the new "Ghostbusters" movie will also feature the acts of Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. The quartet has been spotted donning the iconic ghostfighting suits throughout the month.
Sony Pictures is slated to release "Ghostbusters" on July 22, 2016.
