Still, don’t expect to get all the answers right away. “This is set in the ’50s so we’re still a ways off from that,” Chaves says. “The events of what happens in-between this starts to fill out that story a little bit more.” It sounds like we should expect this movie to be yet another piece of the Conjuring-verse puzzle, but not necessarily a self-contained one. At this point, the demon Valak seems like this franchise’s Thanos: a big bad who can’t be stopped in the course of just one movie.
Chaves seems to agree. “There’s a line in the movie: ‘Demons are infinite,'” the filmmaker told SFX. “I like the idea that she’s always been here in different forms,” he added. “I think that there’s still more stories of Valak the demon nun to be told.”
It’s no surprise that this movie is set to be pretty serialized: by the time “The Nun II” hits theaters, the Conjuring Universe will be comprised of nine different movies (if you count “The Curse of La Llorona,” which apparently Chaves doesn’t), including some perfectly spaced prequels that can leave room for more. The movies are also overtly interconnected, even when casual viewers may not be able to spot every intertextual reference. “There’s other big ideas and big swings in there, and it’s filled with a bunch of cool Easter eggs,” Chaves says of “The Nun II.” “Without giving anything away it continues to fill out the picture and the bigger canvas.”
Canvas, eh? Like the one on which that horrible picture of Valak was painted in “The Conjuring 2”? I see what he did there.
