A fresh set of behind-the-scenes images from the New York City filming location of Mike Flanagan’s upcoming “The Exorcist” reboot has surfaced online, offering fans a closer look at Scarlett Johansson’s character. The supernatural horror film is scheduled for release in theaters on March 12, 2027.
Shared on X, the photos capture Johansson filming a nighttime scene, where she is seen running while wielding a gun. This suggests her character may be involved in a tense chase or confrontation. Additionally, two of the images feature Johansson alongside her young co-star Jacobi Jupe, known for his recent role in the 2025 film “Hamnet.”
Directed and written by Mike Flanagan, who is also overseeing the film’s editing, the reboot marks the seventh installment in the “Exorcist” franchise. The series originally launched with William Friedkin’s iconic 1973 film starring Linda Blair. While the new movie’s story will not directly connect to previous installments, it is set within the same universe. Specific plot details remain under wraps.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Diane Lane, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, Sasha Calle, John Leguizamo, Rahul Kohli, Hamish Linklater, Gil Bellows, Carl Lumbly, Carla Gugino, Samantha Sloyan, Kate Siegel, and others. Producers include Flanagan and Jason Blum, with executive producers Alexandra Magistro, David Robinson, and Ryan Turek. The project is a collaboration between Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Morgan Creek Entertainment, and Red Room Pictures.
