Universal has officially locked in a new release date for The Exorcist — and it’s a long wait for the power of Christ to compel you. The studio announced that the “radical redo” of the horror classic, written, directed, and produced by Mike Flanagan and starring Scarlett Johansson, will hit theaters on March 12, 2027. The film was originally set for March 13, 2026, but Universal quietly pulled it from the calendar last June before settling on the new date.
