TheConjuring spinoff based on the CrookedMan is not moving forward according to James Wan.
The Conjuring universe of films has been scaring horror fans for almost a decade. What started out as a terrifying love letter to the haunted house sub-genre quickly spawned one of the most successful franchises and expanded universes in movie history. However, now we have learned from director James Wan, the godfather of The Conjuring, that the long-in-development Crooked Man spin-off isn’t moving forward.
The news came via an Instagram post Wan shared Friday evening featuring various behind-the-scenes images of himself and actor Javier Botet aka The Crooked Man on the set of The Conjuring 2. The images see Botet in full costume and this is arguably the best look that fans have gotten of the scary entity yet.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY That’s why it's sad to hear this particular Conjuring spin-off isn’t going forward. The Conjuring 2, where The Crooked Man was introduced, was one of the best horror sequels ever made. While he was overshadowed by the main villain of the film, Valak the evil nun, The Crooked Man added such a memorably frightening atmosphere to the film.
Even with this blow, The Conjuring universe is as healthy as ever with the previously mentioned The Nun 2 and The Conjuring 4 coming in the near future. There’s also nothing stopping Wan and his team from applying the ideas for the Crooked Man to either one of those two upcoming films. It’s likely we haven’t seen the last of this well-dressed demon.
While we wait to see if The Crooked Man will return to this ghost-filled universe in some form, you can view Wan’s full post and watch the trailer for The Conjuring 2 down below. The Nun 2 is currently filming and slated to hit theaters on September 8, 2023, and The Conjuring 4 is still in pre-production. The Conjuring 2 can be streamed, along with the rest of the trilogy, on HBO Max right now.
