Blumhouse drops first trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs for March 2027
Blumhouse released the first trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs on Friday, 9 October, ahead of its premiere on 12 March 2027, as reported by Deadline.
That is the headline. A new film in the possession series now has public footage and a fixed date on the calendar.
Scarlett Johansson leads the cast as Detective Judy Miller, according to Deadline. She plays a police investigator drawn into the case at the centre of the story. Mike Flanagan wrote and directed the film. The screen credit is based on characters created by William Peter Blatty, the author whose novel launched the series.
John Leguizamo plays Father Sunday. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Father William, a former prison chaplain. Sasha Calle plays rookie Detective Gina Restrepo, a junior officer working alongside Miller.
The wider ensemble brings several familiar faces. Diane Lane, Jacobi Jupe, Scoot McNairy, Gil Bellows and Laurence Fishburne all appear in supporting roles, as listed by Deadline. No character details for that group were given in the announcement. The trailer is the first material to put the full company in one frame.
Behind the camera, the producing team pairs the franchise with its horror home. David Robinson and Jason Blum are producers, meaning they oversee the film from development through delivery. Alexandra Magistro and Ryan Turek are executive producers, a senior credit that usually covers financing, rights or high-level creative oversight, according to Deadline.
Flanagan takes both key creative posts. The writer shapes story, dialogue and structure. The director runs the shoot and the edit. Holding both jobs gives one person control of the script and its execution.
For viewers, this means two things. There is footage to watch now. And there is a date to note: 12 March 2027.
March sits outside the busiest summer and end-of-year corridors. It is a slot studios often use to give a horror title room to open. Blumhouse has now claimed it for Martyrs.
Expect more detail closer to release. Studios typically follow a first trailer with posters, additional previews and a final runtime. For now, the line-up, the film-maker and the date are set.
