The first official look and story details are unveiled for Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist: Martyrs.
Flanagan shared with Esquire that Scarlett Johansson's character is Detective Julie Miller: "She’s a homicide detective with the NYPD and a single mother of a young boy named Max, who’s just turned 12 years old. Because being a homicide detective is one of those jobs that pulls you completely out of your life when you’re on call, you might not come home for days while you’re chasing a case. A lot of the slack is picked up by her own mother, Mary.”
He further revealed that “John Leguizamo plays a serial killer who Scarlett apprehends very early in the story, and she’s there to witness his execution, which doesn’t go exactly as they expect it to, which ... yeah, it’s an odd thing to say today." The first official teaser was also released ahead of the full trailer debuting at New York Comic Con later this year. Check out the teaser below:
