Scarlett Johansson will star in Mike Flanagan's new Exorcist movie, produced by Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster. The film is a reboot and not a sequel to the 2023 Exorcist. Flanagan has been attached since May 2024 through Red Room Pictures and confirmed on June 2, 2025, that production had not yet begun because he must finish Carrie first. Johansson's precise role remains unspecified; the story may follow traditional Exorcist elements involving a demon-possessed child or priest, or feature Johansson as the possessed individual. Flanagan aims to deliver the scariest film he has ever made.
