Not only is Vera Farmiga starring in this year’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters but she’s also reprising the role of Lorraine Warren in Annabelle Comes Home, which will pave the way for The Conjuring 3 next year. Both Farmiga and Patrick Wilson will be back as Lorraine and Ed Warren in the third installment, and Farmiga teases it in a chat with EW this week.
“Conjuring 3 is coming, and it will be a doozy,” Farmiga told the site. “It will be big. So for me, visiting these characters [in Annabelle Comes Home], it’s like practicing your scales and doing a few arpeggios before having to dive deep into the next one. Because the next one is massive.”
The Conjuring 3 will be about a man on trial for murder who claims he was possessed by a demon.
Producer James Wan recently said of the real-life case, “I think it’s the first time in America’s history where the defendant used possessions as a reason… as an excuse.”
Michael Chaves has been handed the baton to direct The Conjuring 3.
The Warrens return to the big screen on September 11, 2020.
