- DiscussingFilm shared the first 15-second teaser for Mike Flanagan's The Exorcist: Martyrs, which shows eerie shots including Scarlett Johansson as NYPD detective Julie Miller, a priest in a church, and John Leguizamo's serial killer "Father Sunday" on an execution table.

- The film follows a homicide detective who witnesses a satanic serial killer's execution, only for similar martyrdom-inspired murders to continue with demonic elements, drawing inspiration from The Exorcist III while delivering a standalone story in the franchise.

- Scheduled for March 12, 2027 release via Universal and Blumhouse, the project features a stacked cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, and Flanagan regulars, with the full trailer arriving Friday and early buzz noting it as the director's darkest work.
