When I wrote about the trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs, I couldn’t help thinking about The Exorcist III. The procedural horror, the serial-killer investigation, the feeling that something much worse is waiting underneath it all.
Well, that connection might go a whole lot deeper than the tone.
Fans examining the footage have spotted two details that suggest Scarlett Johansson could be playing the grown-up daughter of Lieutenant William Kinderman, the detective portrayed by Lee J. Cobb in The Exorcist and George C. Scott in The Exorcist III.
In screenshots shared on X by @westernwilder, Johansson appears in a police uniform with a nameplate that reads KINDERMAN.
That alone would be enough to get people talking. But there’s also a framed photograph that appears to show Scott’s version of the character sitting on a shelf.
