Overview
- The full trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs premiered at New York Comic Con, leaked online, and was released officially Friday, confirming the film opens in theaters on March 12, 2027.
- Scarlett Johansson stars as NYPD homicide detective Julie Miller and John Leguizamo plays the serial killer known as Father Sunday, with Diane Lane, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, Sasha Calle and Jacobi Jupe in the supporting cast.
- Mike Flanagan wrote, directed, and produces the film through his Red Room Pictures alongside producers Jason Blum and David Robinson with backing from Blumhouse–Atomic Monster and Morgan Creek.
- The marketing and trailer make clear the movie intentionally mixes a serial‑killer police investigation with Exorcist‑style demonic elements and that Flanagan has pitched it as his darkest, most frightening work.
- The project is presented as a standalone reboot rather than a follow‑up to 2023’s Believer and is being positioned as a creative reset for the franchise that could reshape future Exorcist entries.
