‘The Nun 2’ – Bonnie Aarons is Back in the Habit for Upcoming Sequel
Warner Bros. confirmed during CinemaCon this week that The Nun 2 is finally coming soon, with Bloody Disgusting subsequently letting you know that Michael Chaves (The Curse of La Llorona, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) will be taking over as director. Over on Instagram this week, producer James Wan now confirms that Bonnie Aarons will be back.
Bonnie Aarons played the demonic nun known as Valak in both The Conjuring 2 and The Nun, and it’s great to hear that she’ll be back in the habit for the spinoff movie’s sequel.
Wikipedia explains, “Valak is a powerful demon that manifests as a demonic nun to both mock the faith of its enemies and to hide among them. It also holds the title as the archenemy of the Warrens, Lorraine Warren in particular, with their rivalry starting when she exorcised it from Maurice towards the end of its origin film.”
Back in 2018, The Nun scared up a whopping $365 million at the worldwide box office, all but ensuring that we haven’t seen the last of the demonic nun known as Valak.
Last we heard, Akela Cooper (Malignant) will be writing The Nun 2.
In Corin Hardy’s The Nun, “A priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.”
