'Exorcist: Believer' Sequel Shake-Up Sparks Controversy and Doubt
Despite a solid box office performance, the critical and fan reception of "The Exorcist: Believer" has led to a reevaluation of the planned sequel, "Deceiver." Universal remains committed to the franchise, but changes are likely for the next two films. The first sequel, "Deceiver," was scheduled for 2025 with director David Gordon Green expected to return, but his involvement is now uncertain. Universal and Blumhouse have another horror film, "Five Nights at Freddy's," set to release on October 27.
