Laurence Fishburne Is the Latest Big Name to Join Mike Flanagan's 'The Exorcist'

Renowned actor Laurence Fishburne has just been added to the star-studded cast of Mike Flanagan's highly anticipated horror project, 'The Exorcist', marking the latest big-name signing for the acclaimed director.

Following recent news that Chiwetel Ejiofor will also be appearing in the film, alongside Oscar nominees Scarlett Johansson and Diane Lane, as well as teen actor Jacobi Jupe, this ensemble cast brings together an impressive collective of talent. Fishburne, best known for his iconic role as Morpheus in 'The Matrix', joins forces with Flanagan to deliver a chilling experience.

No plot details have been revealed about the film at this point, but it's clear that Flanagan intends to push the boundaries of horror with his latest project, having previously expressed his desire to create "the scariest movie" he could envision. With a track record of delivering spine-tingling experiences, fans can expect 'The Exorcist' to be a thrilling and unsettling ride.

Filming is set to take place in New York City, with the film scheduled for release on March 12, 2027. This highly anticipated horror project has already garnered significant attention, following on from Flanagan's recent ventures into non-horror territory with 'The Life of Chuck' in 2025. As production draws near, anticipation is building among fans and horror enthusiasts alike.

Mike Flanagan, the mastermind behind popular Netflix series such as 'The Haunting of Hill House', 'The Haunting of Bly Manor', and 'Midnight Mass', has proven himself to be a versatile director capable of crafting compelling stories that captivate audiences. With 'The Exorcist' joining his growing list of prestige horror projects, it's clear that fans can expect another thought-provoking and terrifying experience.

The release date for the Prime Video series adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie', which features an all-star cast including faces familiar to Flanagan's fans, is still pending. However, with this impressive lineup of talent assembled for 'The Exorcist', it's undeniable that Mike Flanagan has another box office smash in store for us.
 
omg I'm so hyped about Laurence Fishburne joining the cast of The Exorcist πŸ€―πŸŽƒ I mean, can you even imagine Morpheus facing off against a demon? πŸ˜‚ Fishburne's addition just solidified my faith in Mike Flanagan being able to create something truly special with this film. And let's be real, having Chiwetel Ejiofor and Scarlett Johansson on board already has me screaming "get the popcorn ready" πŸΏπŸ‘»

but what really got me thinking is how Fishburne's presence is gonna bring a whole new level of gravitas to the role... I mean, he's an actor who can just make you feel something deeply, you know? πŸ’” And Flanagan needs that kind of depth and complexity to balance out all the jump scares πŸŽƒπŸ’€.

I'm also loving how this film is building up to be this epic, masterclass horror experience... what a way to cap off 2027! πŸ€©πŸŽ‰
 
Ugh, great, just what we need another overhyped horror movie from Mike Flanagan 🀯. Like we haven't seen enough jump scares and fake possessed people already. And Laurence Fishburne, who's next going to get killed off by a demon? πŸ™„ This is going to be a massive disappointment if it doesn't live up to the hype... and I'm already losing sleep thinking about how it's going to disappoint me 😴.

just wondering if you guys are hyped for the new flanagan horror project? πŸ€”πŸŽƒ Laurence fishburne joining the cast is a big deal, he's an iconic actor and i'm curious to see how he'll bring his character to life... also can't wait to see chiwetel ejiofor in the film, he's been on fire lately. 🌟 what do you think about flanagan pushing the boundaries of horror? some people might say it's too much, but if he delivers a scariest movie ever, it'll be worth it... or maybe not? 😬
 
omg what if this film is actually scary lol 🀯 i mean Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus again though that would be so cool πŸ’₯ and can u believe the cast list? Chiwetel Ejiofor and Scarlett Johansson together on screen now that's what i'm talking about 😲
 
I'm so stoked about this! 🀩 I mean, can you imagine Laurence Fishburne bringing his signature intensity to a horror flick? It's like a match made in heaven! And the fact that Mike Flanagan is pushing the boundaries of horror again is super exciting. I've loved his work on Netflix shows and I have no doubt he'll deliver another chilling experience with 'The Exorcist'. The cast is just getting more and more impressive - I'm hyped to see how it all comes together! πŸŽƒοΈ
 
Ugh, I'm getting so nostalgic thinking about the original Exorcist film from like 1973... remember when horror movies were actually scary? πŸ€ͺ Now it seems like every other movie is just a watered-down version of something that's already been done. And Mike Flanagan is no stranger to messing with our heads, I mean have you seen some of the plot twists in Hill House? Still though, with Laurence Fishburne on board, this might actually be worth checking out... Morpheus is still one of my all-time favorite characters πŸ’₯
 
Man, I'm so over how slow the movie industry is these days πŸ™„. First, they announce a huge ensemble cast and then wait like 2 years to release the film? March 12, 2027? That's ages from now! Can't they just get on with it already? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ It's gonna be so hyped by that point, who knows how much of the buzz will still be real when it comes out...
 
πŸ€” u know, i wonder if Laurence Fishburne really wanted to join this project or if the paycheck was just too good to pass up lol... like, can you imagine anyone else playing Morpheus? πŸ™„ anyway, Mike Flanagan's been on a roll with his Netflix stuff, but i'm getting a little tired of all these horror remakes... can't he make something new for once? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ and omg, March 2027 already feels like forever away... just gotta wait another 2 years for some serious scares 😴
