AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Cast member Samantha Sloyan teases that Mike Flanagan's upcoming film The Exorcist: Martyrs will be his scariest project to date ahead of its March 2027 release.
Horror auteur Mike Flanagan is already looking past his upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, and his next major venture has the cast buzzing. According to franchise regular Samantha Sloyan in a recent interview with Polygon, The Exorcist: Martyrs is shaping up to be the most terrifying piece of work Flanagan has ever produced. Considering his extensive track record of delivering deeply unsettling television and film, that is a high bar to clear.
The upcoming film is slated for a theatrical release on March 12, 2027, and boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast. Alongside recurring Flanagan collaborators like Rahul Kohli, Hamish Linklater, and Carla Gugino, the project features heavy hitters including Scarlett Johansson, Diane Lane, and Laurence Fishburne. Plot details remain tightly under wraps, but early reports point to a gripping narrative centered on a police officer dealing with a past case and a demonic possession.
For horror fans and moviegoers who felt let down by recent franchise entries, Flanagan taking the helm feels like the right creative play. If Sloyan's reactions on set are any indication, the upcoming release is poised to revitalize the iconic property just in time for its 2027 debut. We will be keeping a close eye on how this one shapes up as the release window approaches.
