Untitled The Exorcist Film (2027)

The Exorcist: Martyrs is a 2027 American supernatural horror film directed, written, and produced by Mike Flanagan. Produced by Universal Pictures in collaboration with Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster Productions, the movie serves as a complete reboot of the iconic franchise, operating independently from the continuity of the 2023 film The Exorcist: Believer and previous installments. Starring an ensemble cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Jacob Elordi, Chase Whitmer, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, and Sasha Calle, the narrative promises a fresh take on the classic IP while honoring its literary roots.

Adapted from William Peter Blatty's novel, the film aims to establish a new direction for the "Exorcist" universe rather than serving as a direct sequel or remake.
