The Nun 2's ending reveals Valak's history and hints at a return in future Conjuring movies. Valak seeks Saint Lucy's eyes for divine power but is ultimately defeated by the power of belief and the blood of Christ.
Irene and her allies fight Valak/Frenchie in a final showdown, using the power of St. Lucy's eyes to defeat the demon. Though Valak is seemingly defeated, we know that the demon continues to haunt in later years, hinting at a potential future encounter.
Is Maurice still possessed at the end of The Nun 2?
At the end of the movie, it appears that Valak has left Maurice/Frenchie's body and that he's back to normal. However, don't forget that this movie takes place in 1956, and the events of The Conjuring—in which Maurice is exorcised by the Warrens—take place in 1968. Maurice clearly still has a little devil left in him.
All that stands in the demon nun's way is Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga). 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.
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.
Sometime in between the events of The Nun and The Conjuring 2, Valak returns with a vengeance against Sister Irene. It is revealed that right before Sister Irene banished Valak back to Hell, Valak tethered himself to Maurice in order to escape banishment.
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 2 is not based on any true stories, allowing the filmmakers to create a fictional plot that enhances the scare factor and character development. While The Nun 2 is not based on true events, it does have connections to real-life demons, people, and mythological figures, adding an interesting element to the film.
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.
Chaves explained that in The Conjuring, viewers see an exorcism performed on Frenchie, so the audience can assume "he's saved at the end of this movie." However, viewers also understand that "it's a failed exorcism that leads to him taking his life." Whether Valak has returned to Frenchie's body by the end of Nun II, ...
The end-credits scene features a familiar residence in Connecticut and Ed and Lorraine Warren answering a call for help. The Nun II establishes a connection between Sister Irene and Lorraine Warren, both descendants of Saint Lucy, with Valak continuing to haunt them.
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 II reveals that Sister Irene is a descendant of Saint Lucy, a martyr whose eyes have become a holy relic sought after by fallen angel Valak, who controls the Demon Nun. The film also strongly suggests that Lorraine Warren comes from the same lineage.
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.
Valak seeks Saint Lucy's eyes for divine power but is ultimately defeated by the power of belief and the blood of Christ. The film hints at a possible connection between Sister Irene and Lorraine Warren, setting up future movies in the Conjuring universe.
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.
On the window is a pretty mosaic with a goat front and center, and the girls tell Sophie that when the goat's eyes glow red it means the devil is watching her, and if she leaves while it's watching it'll come to life and haunt her.
Irene uses the relic against Maurice, but he grabs it, causing Valak to appear. Similar to Father Noiret, Valak lifts Irene in the air and sets her ablaze. Irene does not burn as Valak realizes she is a descendant of St. Lucy, able to harness the same power associated with the relic.
Valak appears in multiple forms throughout the Conjuring movies, mainly taking the shape of a Catholic nun with eerie features. However, it has also appeared as the Crooked Man and its original form, Valak the Defiler.
Irene, who has yet to take her vows, is chosen due to her proclivity for visions — a gift from her mother. If I'm honest, Father Burke is just kinda there. During the film he tends to just get himself into dangerous situations and does one important act near the epic conclusion.
