First look at the actress on set as the horror franchise gets a fresh reboot
Scarlett Johansson has officially stepped into the Exorcist universe.
The actress was spotted filming scenes for the upcoming horror reboot in New York City, giving fans a first glimpse at the project.
And it already looks intense.
Johansson was seen in character wearing a brown suit and badge, hinting at a more grounded, investigative role in the film. She was joined on set by co-star Sasha Calle, as the pair filmed a night scene.
Director Mike Flanagan was also present, leading the latest chapter in the iconic horror franchise.
Details about the plot are still being kept tightly under wraps.
But the film is set to tell a completely new story within The Exorcist universe, rather than continuing previous storylines.
The cast is stacked.
Alongside Johansson, the film will feature Chiwetel Ejiofor, Diane Lane and Jacobi Jupe, adding serious weight to the reboot.
And there have already been hints at the tone.
Earlier set photos showed dramatic scenes involving stretchers and handcuffs, suggesting the film will lean into a darker, high stakes direction.
Flanagan’s take has been described as a bold new vision for the franchise, which began with the original 1973 horror classic.
Now, it is getting a fresh chapter.
The film is currently set to hit cinemas in March 2027.
