The 44-year-old actress most recently appeared in the comedy drama St Vincent, during which she appears to have made quite an impression on her co-star Bill Murray who recently suggested Melissa for a part in the reboot Ghostbusters 3.
The 'Lost In Translation' actor - who was an original Ghostbuster alongside Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis in the 1980s movies - said that he would like to see the 'Tammy' star appear in a female-led sequel to the film, along with fellow 'Bridesmaids' actress Kristen Wiig.
Bill said: "Melissa would be a spectacular Ghostbuster. And Kristen Wiig is so funny - God, she's funny!"
