The Conjuring 4: Shocking Revelation Unveiled by Franchise Director Following Jaw-Dropping Nun 2 Post-Credit Scene

Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for The Nun II!

Summary

Director Michael Chaves has officially announced the development of The Conjuring 4, currently in the process of being written. This leaves room for various story directions and interpretations. Chaves tantalizes fans with the idea of a potential crossover featuring all the demons from The Conjuring Universe, promising an epic conclusion in The Conjuring: The Last Rites, without divulging any spoilers.

The post-credits scene in The Nun II, featuring Ed and Lorraine Warren, hints at a continuation of The Conjuring series with a more intense storyline. Director Michael Chaves provides an update on The Conjuring 4 following the revealing scene in The Nun II. Chaves, known for directing The Curse of La Llorona and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, returns to the James Wan-produced franchise to deliver the sequel to the successful 2018 spinoff. In The Nun II, Taissa Farmiga reprises her role as Sister Irene, alongside Bonnie Aarons as the formidable demon Valak. Valak begins a spree of priest and nun murders across Europe, driven by the pursuit of a powerful artifact.

In an interview with SlashFilm, Michael Chaves discussed The Nun II and its connection to the upcoming film, The Conjuring: The Last Rites. Chaves mentioned that the writing for the fourth mainline movie is still in progress and acknowledged that there are multiple possibilities for its storyline. However, he expressed his enthusiasm for the project and hinted at an exciting finale. Chaves stated that the exorcism of Maurice has significant importance in the timeline and can be interpreted in various ways. He also suggested the potential for a crossover of all Conjuring demons, without revealing any specific details.

How The Nun 2's Post-Credits Sets Up The Conjuring 4

In the post-credits scene of The Nun II, amidst the chilling credits that consist of archival footage and scenes from the sequel, Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga respectively) are shown in their family home. They receive a phone call from Father Gordon (portrayed by Steve Coulter), and it is their daughter Judy who answers the call. She informs them that Gordon is calling about an unspecified emergency.

Initially, it appears that this is a flashback that sets up the Warrens' future exorcism of Frenchie, played by Jonas Bloquet, which introduces them to the menacing Valak. However, astute viewers will observe that the Judy depicted in this sequence is portrayed by Sterling Jerins, indicating that it takes place many years after the exorcism shown in the middle of the original film, The Conjuring.

Similar to the conclusion of the 2013 film that started this franchise, the post-credits scene of The Nun II serves as a loose setup for The Conjuring 4, giving audiences a glimpse of the next case the Warrens will face and assuring them that their beloved duo will return. Unlike previous teasers, though, this scene hints at a more urgent situation, implying that the next chapter will involve higher stakes. As The Conjuring: The Last Rites has been suggested to be the final main installment in the franchise, it will be intriguing to see what lies ahead for the Warrens.
