The Nun
The Conjuringfranchise manufacturer Peter Safran says a continuation toThe Nunis being developed and already has a storyline in position . Over the past six years , James Wan ’s originalConjuringfilm has buy the farm from being a one - off hit to the pad for an intact shared macrocosm of supernatural repulsion movies about haunted dolls and demonic nuns ( among other monsters ) . Things got start with John R. Leonetti ’s prequelAnnabellein 2014 , watch over byThe conjure 2two years subsequently , and then David F. Sandberg’sAnnabelle : Creation- itself a prequel to Leonetti ’s film - in 2017 .
Corin Hardy’sThe Nunfollowed suit in 2018 and shift the natural process from a run of the James Mill haunted house to the Abbey of St. Carta in Romania circa 1952 ( several eld before the firstConjuring ) . The moving picture basically served as an stemma story forThe Conjuring 2antagonist Valakand cease up becomingthe highest - grossingConjuringmovie to escort , with a worldwide loge office staff take of $ 365.6 million against a much - smaller $ 22 million budget . With those form of rejoinder , it ’s no marvel the minds behind the franchise have every intention of moving ahead with a sequel .

Speaking toEW , Safran corroborate that estimate are already being develop forThe Nun 2 , and that the film itself is pretty likely to happen . Here ’s his exact quote on the matter :
“ I conceive there is an inevitability to another Nun movie . We have a really fun plot line for that teed up , so I think that that ’s the next one that will be written . ”
WhileThe Nundidn’t make out well with critics ( as Safran noted toEW ) , it was nevertheless praise forits rich Hammer Horror - flair production designand ambience , specially when it concerned the ( creepy ) Abbey of St. Carta . As mention , the film took lieu several years before the firstConjuring(which is primarily set in 1971 ) , so there ’s a lot of time unaccounted for betweenThe NunandValak ’s initial meeting with the Warrens(which was revealed at the end of Hardy ’s plastic film ) . That lead the doorway astray unfastened forThe NunstarsDemián Bichir and Taissa Farmigato reprise their respective roles as Father Burke and Sister Irene in a sequel , with Jonas Bloquet perhaps returning as Frenchie too . Then again , it ’s possibleThe Nun 2will go in an whole different steering , and peradventure even take place prior to Hardy ’s spinoff ( a la what bump on the first twoAnnabellefilms ) .
At the second , Warner Bros. hasThe Curse of La Llorona(a film about the Mexican folklore specter that ’s now confirmed to take place inThe Conjuringcontinuity ) slated to hit dramatic art next week , followed by the midquelAnnabelle Comes Homein June , andThe conjury 3next yr . Based on what Safran had to say , there ’s a fair chanceThe Nun 2will make its means to theaters after that , ahead of slow - developingConjuringspinoffs likeThe Crooked Man . That means that Valak could be back on the big screen as soon as 2021 … whether audience are quick for them or not .
