Director Julius Avery's Desire to See Gladiator Battle the Devil in 'The Pope's Exorcist'

Director Julius Avery discusses his latest film, The Pope's Exorcist, and his desire to work with Russell Crowe. Avery approached the exorcism genre as more of a superhero movie, with Father Gabriele Amorth as a "badass demon-hunting superhero." The film leaves room for potential sequels, with 199 more evil places where God is not welcome to explore. Avery also expresses interest in returning to the world of Overlord, but prefers standalone films.
