Horror fans, get ready for a possible treat! Rumors are swirling that Linda Blair, the actress who played Regan in the original "Exorcist" film, may be reprising her role in the upcoming movie written and directed by David Gordon Green (known for his work on the "Halloween" 2018 trilogy). The movie centers around Leslie Odom Jr.'s character, the father of a possessed child, who seeks the help of Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), the mother of Regan MacNeil.
Although an official Blumhouse representative has said that Blair was on set for a few days as an "advisor," there's no clear confirmation whether she's actually in the movie. However, the idea of her return seems to make sense, given that Burstyn is also reprising her role as Regan's mother. It's still considered a rumor until an official statement is released, but the mere possibility of Blair's involvement in the project has horror fans buzzing with excitement.
Blair's role in the original "Exorcist" is unforgettable, and her potential return in this film would be a great nod to the franchise's roots. Her performance as the possessed Regan was both chilling and iconic, and her presence in the new film could bring a whole new level of depth and nuance to the story.
The upcoming "Exorcist" movie has been highly anticipated by horror fans, with Green's involvement adding to the excitement. His work on the "Halloween" trilogy was highly praised, and many are eager to see what he does with this iconic franchise. With Burstyn already confirmed to return, and the possibility of Blair joining the cast, the anticipation is only growing.
So, is Linda Blair really returning to the world of "Exorcist"? Only time will tell, but regardless, the upcoming film is sure to be a must-see for horror fans everywhere. Keep your eyes peeled for more information as it becomes available, and get ready to be terrified once again.
