The latest installment in The Conjuring Universe is on its way to movie theaters, and fans of the horror franchise can’t wait to find out what kind of terrifying surprises the demon Valak has in store for them next. The Nun II has been anticipated for a long time because it is a part of the sinister world built by horror hero James Wan. Now, five years after the release of the first film in The Nun franchise, people are ready to know what terrifying place the devil will visit next. The audience in the first film in the Nun franchise followed Sister Irene and Father Burke as they examined the death of a nun living at the monastery of Saint Cartha in Romania. Within the confines of the Abbey, things were not as they appeared, and Sister Irene found herself in a battle with the demon who had evaded excommunication by taking possession of an unsuspecting delivery man named Maurice. The events of the second film take place four years after the first, so spectators will have to wait and witness what kind of horrors the demon is capable of while inside its new body.

What is the Plot of The Nun 2?
In an interview with ComingSoon.net, the actress who plays the demon Valak expressed her desire that the movie would delve deeper into the “depth of the demon.” Investigating the character of the demonic being could explain how Ed and Lorraine Warren would eventually handle the situation in upcoming installments of The Conjuring franchise.
At the end of the first Nun movie, it was revealed that Maurice, better known as “Frenchie,” had become possessed by the demon Valak. The film was based on the novel The Nun’s Story. The video of the exorcism of Maurice was exhibited in further seminars given by Ed and Lorraine Warren, which took place twenty years afterward. During the exorcism, Lorraine is subjected to harrowing visions of Ed’s death. Fans are keen to see what part of Maurice’s narrative will be aired in this next chapter of The Conjurverse and if Maurice’s exorcism will bring together The Conjuring and The Nun casts. Fans are also curious to see what part of Maurice’s story will be shown in this future chapter of The Conjurverse.
The following is how the summary is written:
France in the year 1956. A priest has been brutally killed. The presence of evil is growing. In the sequel to the film that became a global phenomenon, we rejoin Sister Irene just as she is about to have another encounter with Valak, the evil nun.
