This is rather strange news, I mean I haven't paid much attention to these movies lately, but it is strange that they pay much attention to the female casting because women can play only passive if not minor roles in these movies.
Unless she plays a woman exorcist, the biggest role she can play is of a possessed person who vomits on people and looks unattractive which, as a movie star, I don't think she's much interested in doing.

Quote:Scarlett Johansson To Star In New ‘Exorcist’ Movie From Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Morgan Creek And Universal
Johansson’s involvement is a clear sign the studio is serious about this latest version in the franchise after the last film, 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer, underperformed with $65.5M U.S./Canada and $136.2M worldwide. This after NBCUni, Peacock and Blumhouse bought the rights from Morgan Creek for $400M back in July 2021. David Gordon Green, the director of that movie, withdrew from the next installment.
The film will tell an all-new story set in The Exorcist universe and is not a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer. It is produced by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Morgan Creek Entertainment and Flanagan — who also will write and direct — via his Red Room Pictures banner. Alexandra Magistro also will executive produce for Red Room Pictures. David Robinson produces for Morgan Creek Entertainment. Jason Blum and Ryan Turek serve as the respective producer and executive producer for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
