The Exorcist Unleashed: Unveiling the Chilling Sequel & Saving 2025 for Release Date

Summary

The Exorcist: Deceiver has been officially declared, set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025.

Incorporating all the films within the franchise canon, The Exorcist: Believer serves as a direct sequel to the original masterpiece.

With the announcement of The Exorcist: Deceiver, it is evident that Green intends to breathe new life into the franchise, offering an unnerving tale of possession.

Following the release of the trailer for the highly anticipated upcoming movie, a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer has been unveiled with a title and a premiere date set for 2025. In The Exorcist: Believer, we witness the terrifying possession of two children by a malevolent entity. Among them is Angela Fielding (portrayed by Lidya Jewett), the daughter of Victor, played by Leslie Odom Jr. In a desperate bid to rescue his daughter and her friend Catherine, Victor embarks on a search for Chris MacNeil (played by Ellen Burstyn), whose own daughter, Regan, was famously possessed in the original film, The Exorcist.

What To Expect From The Exorcist Sequel Trilogy

: Fangoria has reported the announcement of a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer. The upcoming film, titled The Exorcist: Deceiver, is set to release on April 18, 2025. Serving as the second installment in director David Gordon Green's envisioned sequel trilogy, The Exorcist: Deceiver follows the footsteps of the original The Exorcist movie.

The Exorcist: Believer serves as a direct continuation of the renowned horror film, The Exorcist, featuring the return of Ellen Burstyn in her iconic role as Chris. Unlike the Halloween film trilogy helmed by David Gordon Green, which disregards all films in the franchise except for the original 1978 installment, The Exorcist: Believer acknowledges and incorporates the narrative contributions from both the sequel and prequel films within The Exorcist franchise.

The Exorcist: Believer trailer suggests that the original demon, Pazuzu, is responsible for possessing Angela and Catherine. As Pazuzu is a recurring character in all The Exorcist movies, it is logical for him to be the main antagonist in The Exorcist: Believer. This would also bring Chris face-to-face with the same demonic entity that haunted her daughter years ago.

Although The Exorcist is considered a horror classic, the other films in the franchise have often received mixed or negative reviews. With the announcement of The Exorcist: Deceiver, it appears that Green has a plan that has garnered confidence from studios like Blumhouse, aiming to rejuvenate the franchise. The question remains as to whether The Exorcist: Believer can deliver a chilling possession story that lives up to the original movie.
