Production is back and moving very nicely for David Gordon Green’s, The Exorcist, and Deadline reports today that actor/performance artist Okwui Okpokwasili (Bronx Gothic) has joined the cast.

Gordon Green is directing The Exorcist for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek which will reboot the terrifying franchise as well as continue what horrors took place in the original 1973 film.

The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring alongside Ellen Burstyn, who will be reprising her role as Chris MacNeil from the original 1973 movie.

The first plot details we were provided with last year tease, “Odom Jr. will play the father of a possessed child. Desperate for help, he tracks down Ms. Burstyn’s character.”

Ann Dowd (Hereditary), Lidya Jewett (Netflix’s Nightbooks), Raphael Sbarge (“Gaslit”), Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones), and Olivia Marcum are also on board.
