Scarlett Johansson Joins The Cast
Scarlett Johansson has joined the cast for Mike Flanagan's take on The Exorcist, and he had this to say:
Scarlett is a brilliant actress whose captivating performances always feel grounded and real, from genre films to summer blockbusters, and I couldn’t be happier to have her join this Exorcist film.
Not much else is really known right now, as it doesn't have an official title or anything yet, but with this new casting news, hopefully we will get more information soon.
But he has said this previously:
We aren’t making this easy on ourselves, but I’ve always felt that there’s no point in going into a franchise or into a property that monolithic unless there’s something new you can bring. I chased The Exorcist very aggressively because I was convinced I had something that I could add.This is an opportunity to do something that I believe has never been done within the franchise -something that honors what came before it but isn’t built on nostalgia. I really just saw an opportunity to make the scariest movie I’ve ever made. I know expectations are high. No one’s more intimidated than I am.
Release Date Might Not Be Met
The original release date for the movie was March 13th, 2026, but apparently this might not be met, with Flanagan commenting a few months ago:
Production hasn’t started, we need to finish Carrie first. No way it’s coming out next March. Nothing to worry about though.
