From what I've read regarding the new Ghostbusters movie, the film will be bringing back the original team but will feature four new recruits - two boys and two girls.
Here's something I've found out regarding one of the boys and one of the girls:
This actually has piqued my interest a bit more.
Firstly, it appears the film may be going down a similar road to the animated series The Extreme Ghostbusters (which had Egon Spendler as the last remaining member of the original team - the Ghostbusters been shut down after a lack of paranormal activity - putting together a new Ghostbusters team when ghosts start to reappear; the team consisting of a Hispanic man, an African-American man, a Wheelchair user and a Goth girl. Here's the opening for that show).
Second, based on the descriptions given, it's possible one of the characters may be Autistic. Whether this is actually the case probably won't be confirmed until the film comes out, but I'm interested to see if this is or isn't the case.

Provided to We Got This Covered by a trusted source, the intel explains that the two central characters will be a young boy and girl. The former will be 13 years of age and is said to be passionate about fantasy and conspiracy theories. Furthermore, he apparently approaches every situation with “unbridled excitement for the unknown.” What’s perhaps most interesting though is that he quite often will narrate life in real time, adding “descriptive color” to the people he meets.
As for the girl, she crosses paths with the aforementioned boy at some point in the film and they quickly become friends. She’s 12 years of age, from what we understand, and is said to be an insanely smart kid. However, she often has a hard time with “interpreting and expressing emotions and speaks with a flat delivery that make her observations humorous.” Though she wants to connect with others, she struggles with interpreting how her family and friends feel and has difficulty sharing her own feelings. Her “science acumen” is said to prove invaluable throughout the story, though.
