Blumhouse has unveiled an initial trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs, a Mike Flanagan-directed reimagining. Scarlett Johansson appears as a detective tied to a case involving demonic homicide. The movie is set to arrive on March 12, 2027.
The plot follows her character after she stops a satanic killer, Father Sunday, portrayed by John Leguizamo. Thirteen years later, a different serial murderer pulls her back into the investigation after her name is discovered in blood inside a church crypt, linked to a slain altar boy.
The trailer may intensify interest in horror remakes and draw existing Exorcist fans, Flanagan followers, and Johansson admirers to theaters. Its demonic-crime premise could spark online discussion about religious horror and serial-killer narratives, while some viewers sensitive to occult or violent imagery may find it unsettling. For Blumhouse and exhibitors, the 2027 release could become a notable genre event if early marketing sustains curiosity.
