The Exorcist: Martyrs Opens in Theaters March 12
The Exorcist: Martyrs is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Mike Flanagan. It is the seventh film in The Exorcist franchise.
- The Exorcist: Martyrs is scheduled for release in the United States by Universal Pictures on March 12, 2027; both links give the same date[1][2]
- It is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Mike Flanagan, the seventh film in The Exorcist franchise, based on characters by William Peter Blatty[1]
- The roundup describes it as ‘a completely new story set within the world of The Exorcist’, not a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer and not another remake of William Friedkin’s original[2]
- Premise, as quoted from Comic Book Movie: ‘A single-mother cop who, 13 years after taking down a notorious satanic serial killer, investigates a new series of murders connected to her past while her 12-year-old son becomes the target of a terrifying demonic force’[1]
- Scarlett Johansson leads, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jacobi Jupe, Sasha Calle, Hamish Linklater, Carl Lumbly, John Gallagher Jr., Benjamin Pajak, Carla Gugino, John Leguizamo, Diane Lane and Laurence Fishburne; Leguizamo plays Father Sunday, ‘an infamous satanic serial killer’, Ejiofor an ‘ex-con turned priest’ and Johansson the mother of Jupe’s character[1][2]
- Jason Blum produces through Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, David Robinson through Morgan Creek Entertainment and Flanagan through Red Room Pictures; Michael Fimognari is cinematographer and Flanagan also edits[1]
- The date has moved twice: the film was previously scheduled for April 18, 2025 and March 13, 2026 before being removed from Universal’s release schedule in June 2025, when Flanagan posted that it would not shoot until he finished the Carrie miniseries for Amazon Prime Video and that there was ‘no way it’s coming out next March’[1]
- The project replaced The Exorcist: Deceiver: David Gordon Green stepped down in January 2024 after Believer’s reception, and in May 2024 Deceiver and its own sequel were cancelled when Flanagan was confirmed for a ‘new radical take’[1]
- The title was only revealed in June 2026, on the official Red Room Pictures website[1]
- Principal photography began in New York City on March 13, 2026 and wrapped on June 9, 2026, after casting ran from November 2025 to March 2026[1]
- Taking the job cost Flanagan the DC Universe’s Clayface (2026), which he had written; James Gunn and Peter Safran hired James Watkins instead[1]
- The roundup ranks it No. 16 of its 20 most anticipated films of 2027 and calls it ‘probably the most creatively interesting’ horror entry of the year, while warning that ‘some of these dates will almost certainly shift before opening night’[2]
