John Leguizamo has joined the ensemble cast of Mike Flanagan's upcoming Exorcist reboot, which features Scarlett Johansson, Lawrence Fishburne, and others. Filming is underway in New York, with a theatrical release planned for March 12, 2027.
John Leguizamo, known for roles in the John Wick films, Romeo + Juliet, and Moulin Rouge!, has been added to Mike Flanagan's untitled Exorcist reboot, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. He joins Scarlett Johansson (leading the film alongside her onscreen son Jacobi Jupe), Chiwetel Ejiofor, Diane Lane, Lawrence Fishburne, and Sasha Calle. Additionally, 11 actors from Flanagan's previous projects—dubbed the 'Flana-verse'—are involved.
Flanagan is writing, directing, and producing this 'fresh and bold' take on the 1973 horror classic, unrelated to the 2023 film The Exorcist: Believer. Backed by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Morgan Creek Entertainment, and Flanagan's Red Room Pictures, the production is overseen by Flanagan, Jason Blum, Ryan Turek, and Alexandra Magistro. Filming has begun in New York, with full production starting next week.
Plot details and individual roles remain under wraps. Universal Pictures will release the film theatrically on March 12, 2027. Leguizamo's next project is Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey.
