The Conjuring Universe has made it clear by now that the Warrens, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, only star in the main films and not the spinoffs, but it’s looking like the third Annabelle film will be changing things up. Deadline breaks the news today that both Wilson and Farmiga will be starring in Gary Dauberman’s “Annabelle 3“!
The site notes that the duo will appear in a “supporting capacity” in the film, which centers on Ed and Lorraine’s daughter, being played by Mckenna Grace.
Madison Iseman also stars.
Gary Dauberman, known for his scripts for It: Chapter 1 and 2 and The Nun, wrote the screenplay and will make his directorial debut. James Wan (for Atomic Monster) and Peter Safran (for The Safran Company) are producing. Michael Clear is executive producer.
During Comic-Con’s ScareDiego event, Dauberman said of the latest Annabelle installment, “It really picks up with the Warrens bringing Annabelle to the place where it can really no longer wreak havoc, which is their artifact room. But, of course, it turns out she can also wreak havoc there.”
“It’s basically Night at the Museum with Annabelle!” added Wan at the time.
Annabelle 3 comes alive on July 3, 2019.
