Universal had removed the ‘Exorcist’ remake from its original March 13th, 2026 release date earlier this June. The reason for this isn’t clear, but we have a new release date for March 12th, 2027, starring Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe, written, directed, and produced by Mike Flanagan. What was supposed to be a “radical redo” will now be a standalone film that isn’t tied to the original 1973 film or the 2023 Exorcist Believer.
This will be an original adaptation from Flanagan, Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, and Morgan Creek Entertainment. No word on what the plot will be but stay tuned for more details as they unfold.
