Warning – This article contains spoilers for The Nun 2, currently in theaters. Continue reading only if you have seen the movie.

The Nun is back in the movies for a second solo adventure. Directed by Michael Chavez, who is already credited with the Conjuringverse films The Curse of the White Lady and The Conjuring: Under the Sway of the Devil, The Nun 2 is set in 1956 in the South of France.

Sister Irene (Taisa Farmiga) once again calls the church to the rescue after several priests are murdered. Accompanied by his sister Debra (Storm Reid), he then goes to Tarascon’s St. Lucia Boarding House. There he finds Maury alias Franciere, still played by Jonas Block, who saved him in the first Demon Wallach movie.

A spin-off of the parent Conjuring saga, the feature film is closely related to the first Conjuring films, taking place between 1971 and 1977, 15 and 21 years after the events of The Nun 2.

We invite you here to find out what links he used to carry the film Taissa Farmiga His sister Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson brought feature films to town.

WARNING – THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO AVOID SPOILING…

In Nun 2 We find out that Valak has survived and is possessed by Maurice, still played by Jonas Block. The latter travels to Europe unaware that a demon is possessing him. He is now a gardener at the boarding house of Sainte-Lucie, the place where the relic sought by Valak is buried. That is why the demon is still present and continues his mischief.

And Irene quickly realizes that a demon has possessed her friend and will do anything to save Francis and get rid of Valak. But with the film taking place 21 years before the nun appears in Conjuring 2, we know the demon isn’t finally defeated. By the end of The Nun 2, Maurice seems to be himself again, despite Irene’s worried look.

How does ‘The Nun 2’ relate to ‘The Conjuring’?

15 years later, at the start of The Conjuring: The Warren Files (2013), we learn that Morris was still possessed by Valak. When Carolyn Perron (Lily Taylor) goes to ask Ed and Lorraine Warren for help, they hold a lesson and show a video that we can witness after the exorcism of the Frenchman performed by Christophe Veillon.

The video, which was also shot with Jonah Blockett, is a post-credits scene for the 2018 Nun.

In the first Conjuring film, Ed portrays Maurice as a French-Canadian farmer who was abused by his father as a child. When Valak possessed him, he began to speak fluent Latin and an inverted cross appeared on his stomach. During a failed exorcism, Morris captured Lorraine and showed her a vision that traumatized the media. Then we learn that Maurice tried to kill his wife. He shot himself in the arm before killing himself. A disastrous fate for one of the heroines of the nun.

in the given interview collider, Director Michael Chaves explains:It’s all a matter of interpretation. There are several moments in the film, including the post-credits scene, which may indicate that Morris is still possessed by Valak. We think he’s saved at the end of this movie, but obviously in The Conjuring timeline, we know that’s not the case. An unsuccessful exorcism leads him to commit suicide. So we know it’s going to happen. “

Finally, take a good look at his eyes!

He adds: “Now, either Valak comes back into it later, or Valak is still there, and I think that’s really open to interpretation. But at the end of the movie Maurice and Irene look at each other and that look says a lot in my opinion. Irene has second sight. He knows he’s seeing things that aren’t always there, and I get the impression that… Anyway, take a good look at his eyes at the end. “

Nun 2: What does the post-credits scene mean?

That’s why Valak didn’t leave Maurice’s body… and this is another scene that proves it. The Nun 2 contains a post-credits scene. We see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga Back as Ed and Lorraine Warren in their home. They receive a phone call from Father Gordon (Steve Coulter). Their daughter Judy answers the phone and tells them that her father is calling urgently, the exact nature of which is not specified.

At first glance, viewers might think this is a simple flashback to Morris preparing the Warrens’ exorcism in the 70s. However, the most observant viewer will notice that Judy is a teenager here, while the latter was still a child in 1971. So the scene is set in 1971 after Morris’ exorcism. Therefore Father Gordon’s call must be about the return of Valak.

Thus, this scene allows us to know more about Conjuring 4, which is announced as the final part of the mother saga. Titled The Conjuring: The Last Rites, the film written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (Conjuring 3, Esther) may allow us to find the dreaded nun and see her confront the Warrens and Sister Irene.

In this way, Conjuring 4 could connect the spin-off films The Nun and the main saga and Dash Irene and Lorraine Warren meet. If two characters are not sisters on the screen Taissa Farmiga This is no accident… and The Nun 2 proves it well.

Farmiga sisters reunited in ‘Conjuring 4’?

Because the movie Michael Chaves We learn that Irene Palmer (Taisa Farmiga) is a descendant of Saint Lucia, a martyr whose eyes were gouged out and became a sacred relic sought by the fallen angel Valak. A link that explains why the latter may have visions. A gift she shares with Lorraine Warren…

The film also suggests that Lorraine Warren comes from the same lineage. While confronting Valak, Sister Irene miraculously survives the fire and sees a vision: she sees her mother, St. Lucy again, and we briefly see the intense blue gaze of Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), suggesting a family connection between Irene (born 1930) and Lorraine (born 1927).

This connection to St. Lucia explains Irene and Lauren’s physical resemblance and supernatural abilities, while also hinting at the possibility of seeing them together in Conjuring: The Last Rites.

“The Conjuring movies are about family, and they explore that theme in different ways.” Michael Chaves, who directed Vera Farmiga in 2021’s Conjuring 3, told the magazine. EW. He adds: “The Farmiga sisters weren’t together on set, but I know they love their relationship in this world, and I think that tells a deeper family story.”.

Although we still don’t know how the scriptwriters will connect these stories that take place 20 years apart, the filmmaker explains SlashFilm that Remembrance: Last Rites predicts a grand finale.

The grand finale for Conjuring 4!

“I believe they’re still in the middle of writing Conjuring 4. In terms of Morris’ approach to exorcism, that’s always been a focal point, a cornerstone of the timeline. There’s a timeline that’s been set up and it’s evolving, but it’s really set up between Conjuring 1 and between 2. Then we all contributed to its development.

When it comes to Conjuring: The Last Rites, there are a lot of things that need to be lined up, so the movie could go in many directions. As a viewer, I would love to see all the demons from The Conjuring cross over.

I can’t reveal what I know about the development, but I know they will have a big ending. I know there’s a big finale planned for “Last Rites,” but I don’t know what’s in it or who’s in it.“I would like to remind you that the writing of the film was stopped due to the writers’ strike.

currently in cinema Nun 2 It can thus be seen as a standalone film, but also as part of a larger puzzle: The Conjuring Cinematic Universe. The first film dedicated to the demon Valak is the highest-grossing film of the 9-film franchise at the international box office with $365 million.
