An Oscar-nominated actress has been added to the cast of the upcoming Scarlett Johansson Exorcist Movie, bringing fresh talent to the horror franchise. The film is directed by Mike Flanagan, well-known for his work on The Haunting of Hill House, and is slated for release in 2027.
Details About the New Exorcist Film and Its Cast
Diane Lane’s involvement in the new Exorcist film was confirmed, though specific information regarding her character remains undisclosed as the production maintains secrecy around the storyline. The project will present an entirely new narrative set within The Exorcist universe, distinct from the 2023 film The Exorcist: Believer, directed by David Gordon Green, which had originally been planned as the start of a trilogy but failed to continue.
Diane Lane’s distinguished career includes an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her role in Unfaithful (2002) and multiple Primetime Emmy Award nominations, with the latest in 2024 for Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. She is also recognized for portraying Martha Kent in the DC Extended Universe and has appeared in films such as The Outsiders (1983), Streets of Fire (1984), The Perfect Storm (2000), Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), and Let Him Go (2020).
Production and Release Information
Mike Flanagan not only directs but also writes and produces the movie through his Red Room Pictures banner, collaborating with David Robinson from Morgan Creek Entertainment and Jason Blum of Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. Alexandra Magistro and Ryan Turek are executive producers for the project. Filming is anticipated to occur in New York City.
The untitled new Exorcist film is scheduled to premiere in United States theaters on March 12, 2027, distributed by Universal Pictures.
