Scarlett Johansson's Exorcist: Martyrs Teaser Is Here


😱 SCARLETT JOHANSSON IS FACING PURE EVIL.

Universal Pictures just dropped the first teaser for The Exorcist: Martyrs — Mike Flanagan's take on the legendary horror franchise — and it's only 15 seconds long. But 15 seconds is all it takes.

Johansson stars as NYPD homicide detective Julie Miller, a single mother whose life unravels after she witnesses the execution of a satanic serial killer known as "Father Sunday" (John Leguizamo) — an execution that doesn't go as planned. When the killings resume, her 12-year-old son becomes the target of a demonic force.

The cast is stacked: Chiwetel Ejiofor and Laurence Fishburne as priests, Diane Lane as Johansson's mother, Sasha Calle as a fellow detective, plus Flanagan regulars Carla Gugino, Kate Siegel, and Rahul Kohli.

Flanagan — the mind behind The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass — calls it Se7en meets The Exorcist: a crime procedural hunting "humans under the influence — or in some cases direct control — of evil itself." And he's clear: this is NOT a reboot. It's a brand-new story in the Exorcist universe.

Mark your calendars: the FULL trailer drops TOMORROW (Friday, Oct 9), and the film hits theaters March 12, 2027.
