SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary With the latest chapter in the franchise teasing its future, director Michael Chaves offers an update on The Conjuring 4 after The Nun II's post-credits scene. Chaves, who previously helmed the loosely connected The Curse of La Llorona and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, returns to the James Wan-produced franchise with the sequel to the 2018 hit spinoff.
In honor of the movie's release, SlashFilm caught up with Michael Chaves to break down The Nun II. When asked about the movie's post-credits scene and how it sets up the in-development The Conjuring: The Last Rites, the franchise director noted that writing is still ongoing for the fourth mainline movie and acknowledged that "it could go a couple different ways," but expressed his excitement for it and teased there is "a great finale" planned for it.
I think that they're still writing it. They're still working on it. There's definitely "Conjuring: Last Rites" is coming. And in terms of the exorcism of Maurice, that's always been a center, a cornerstone marker in the timeline and I think it's up to interpretation. It's also, I think there's a lot of things that need to align, so it could go a couple different ways. As an audience member, I would 100% see [a crossover of all Conjuring demons].
How The Nun 2's Post-Credits Sets Up The Conjuring 4 The Nun II's post-credits scene, coming in the middle of the haunting credits comprised of archival footage and shots from the sequel, sees Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga returning as Ed and Lorraine Warren in their family home as they receive a phone call from Steve Coulter's Father Gordon.
At first glance, audiences are left to assume this is a flashback setting up the Warrens' eventual exorcism of Jonas Bloquet's Frenchie that would introduce the paranormal investigating duo to the horrific threat of Valak.
