Chiwetel Ejiofor, an Oscar nominee, has been cast in director Mike Flanagan's upcoming film titled 'The Exorcist.' This new adaptation is slated for release on March 12, 2027, and will feature Ejiofor alongside Scarlett Johansson, Jacobi Jupe, and Diane Lane.

Mike Flanagan is also writing and producing the film. This marks his fourth collaboration with Blumhouse, following previous directorial and writing work. Ejiofor previously worked with Flanagan on 'The Life of Chuck'.
