The Nun II ending spoilers follow. The sequel is set four years after the events of the first film and a decade before the events of The Conjuring, seeing the aftermath of Frenchie's (Jonas Bloquet) possession by the demonic entity Valak.
"The Nun 2" serves as a sequel to the 2018 prequel. "The Nun" followed the story of demon nun Valak's backstory, set in the 1950s. In this upcoming installment, the Demon Nun returns to confront Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and a new group of nuns.
The Nun explored the origins of Valak and introduced some great characters who will be returning for the sequel. Since The Nun II is directly connected with its predecessor due to a few of the same characters, it is important that you refresh your memory and know what exactly happened in The Nun.
The Nun movies are actually prequels to The Conjuring series. While The Nun and its sequel take part in the 1950s, The Conjuring is set in the 1970s. Valak torments a young nun throughout the series, and it's only when Lorraine encounters Valak two decades after that we see the demon defeated.
The Nun 2 takes place four years after the original film, placing it in 1956 and making it the third movie in the Conjuring timeline. The sequel is set after Annabelle: Creation which takes place in 1955, creating a one-year gap in the franchise timeline.
We already know that Valak continues to haunt well into the 1970s. However, there is somewhat of a happy ending. The power of the nuns' faith seemingly separates Valak from Frenchie, and he appears as good as new. However, it's probably that Valak still lies within Frenchie but has just gone dormant.
Will there be The Nun 3? The Nun 3 is not yet confirmed, but there is demand and narrative potential for the franchise to continue with another installment. If The Nun 3 does happen, it is likely to be released no earlier than 2026, based on the release timeline of previous films.
The Nun II ultimately explains that Bichir's Father Burke died in the four years between it and its 2018 predecessor, having succumb to a case of cholera after being promoted to the position of a bishop for his and Irene's successful shutdown of Valak's actions at the Romanian monastery.
The Nun 2 director Michael Chaves suggests that Lorraine and Irene are connected through a shared bloodline The Conjuring Universe, which is not just a coincidence since the characters are played by real-life sisters Vera and Taissa Farmiga.
The Nun 2 ends with a climactic showdown between Irene and Valak in the chapel. Valak steals the Eyes of Saint Lucy from Irene and becomes more powerful than ever. Valak tries to kill Irene by setting her on fire, but Irene miraculously survives thanks to her faith and her connection to Saint Lucy.
The ban was prompted by a viral tweet that cautioned anyone who hates jump scares or had anxiety to look away and turn down the volume when they saw an ad … with the volume being turned down and nothing else. The ad in question is clearly designed to freak out the viewer as much as possible.
The Nun II is the ninth overall installment in The Conjuring franchise but the third chronologically, with the Nun movies intended to serve as something of a prequel to the events of The Conjuring series.
In the last 10 years, nine of these movies have been pumped out—a pace that ensures they're bound to be somewhat formulaic. If you haven't seen the first movie, "The Nun," don't worry—there's an overly precise summary of those events orated early on in the sequel.
before watching The Nun 2. At the end of the first nun film, it was revealed that Maurice, also known as Frenchie, had become possessed by the demon Valak. Maurice exorcism. was the one that was shown in the video.
Viewers should rewatch key Conjuring Universe movies before seeing The Nun 2 to fully understand the franchise's overarching narrative. The character Valak, the demon nun, makes their first appearance in The Conjuring 2 and receives an origin story in The Nun.
The mid-credits scene of the movie sees the main Conjuring characters Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) receiving a call from Father Gordon, the character who facilitates many of their paranormal investigations.
In an attempt to kill Sister Irene, Valak tries to set her on fire, but when Sister Irene doesn't burn it is revealed that she too is a descendant of Saint Lucy, a full circle moment that adds substance and history to Farmiga's character.
This was revealed when the movie explored Sister Irene's heritage, and it showed she is a descendant of Saint Lucy. She then has visions of people in Saint Lucy's bloodline, and one of those people was Lorraine Warren. They might not be sisters, but they are both scions of Saint Lucy.
Valak is after the eyes of Saint Lucy, patron saint of the blind, in order to restore the power that was taken from the demon when it was an angel rejected by God. As it turns out, those eyes are buried in the chapel at the boarding school where Maurice now works as a handyman.
It appears the demon is finally dead, but those who have seen other instalments in the series already know Valak is back haunting the living by the 1970s, when The Conjuring takes place.
In The Conjuring 2, right after Lorraine wakes from her nightmare, the decorative wood letters V, A, L, A, and K can be seen spelling out Valak's name on the bookshelf behind her. It was implied that Valak appeared as a nun in order to test Lorraine Warren's faith and distort her perception of her Catholic beliefs.
As she's being burned, Irene realizes her abilities and her visions of the past mean that she's a direct descendant of Saint Lucy, and her understanding of that is one of the things that gives Irene the strength to overcome the demon nun in their final confrontation.
Maurice clearly still has a little devil left in him. But for now, he gets a happy ending. In the last scene of the movie, Maurice tends to his tomato plants and lives happily ever after with Kate and Sophie.
