James Wan has revealed a BTS photo from TheNun2, confirming production has kicked off on TheConjuring spinoff. The image also reveals the return of Jonas Bloquet's Frenchie from the previous film.
As filming finally kicks off on the long-awaited sequel, James Wan has shared a new The Nun 2 behind-the-scenes photo confirming another original character's return. A follow-up to 2018's hit Conjuring spinoff, the 2023 horror movie sequel will again follow Taissa Farmiga's Sister Irene as she is called upon to investigate the murder of a priest in 1956 France, which seemingly has to do with the iconic demon Valak.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Development on The Nun 2 has been ongoing since the original film became the highest-grossing The Conjuring Universe movie to date, having raked in over $365 million against its $22 million production budget. After years of silence, the film finally began gaining steam this past April when Michael Chaves, who previously helmed The Curse of La Llorona and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, was brought on to direct.
Where Will The Nun 2 Fall In The Conjuring Universe? With the film said to be set in 1956, The Nun 2 would fall as the third chronological story within The Conjuring Universe, coming just a few years after its predecessor, as well as being set a year after Annabelle: Creation, which itself included a nod to Valak and the Romanian monastery she originated from.
Given the initial ending of the original film saw Frenchie still in relative control of himself as he brought Sister Irene and Demián Bichir's Father Burke back to civilization, it will be interesting to see how he fares come The Nun 2.
