Nun II: Director Michael Chaves REVEALS Shocking CONNECTION Of The Film With The Conjuring! (Details Inside)

Michael Chaves, the director of 'Nun II’, has explained how the new film's ending links to the rest of The ‘Conjuring’ trilogy.

The sequel takes place four years after the events of the first film and a decade before ‘The Conjuring’, and depicts the aftermath of Frenchie's (Jonas Bloquet) captivity by the demonic entity Valak. In the first ‘Conjuring’ film, Frenchie is revealed to be Maurice, who dies after an unsuccessful exorcism.

However, when The ‘Nun 2’ concludes with Frenchie/Maurice being saved, fans are left wondering how he becomes possessed again over ten years later.

Chaves addressed the apparent plot hole in an interview with Collider, explaining both Maurice's demise and Valek's comeback.

"There's a moment at the end of the movie where — well, there's a couple of moments; there's a mid-credit that might tease something," he said.

"Obviously, in the timeline of ‘The Conjuring’, we think he's saved at the end of this movie, but we know that later on, before the events of the first ‘Conjuring’, but after this movie, he is possessed and it's a failed exorcism that leads to him taking his life. So, we know that's coming."

Chaves added: "Now, Valak either gets back into him or Valak might still be in there, and I think that's really open to interpretation."

The ‘Nun II’ credit scene mentioned by Chaves includes a brief cameo by demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren receiving a phone call from Father Gordon about another paranormal case, further connecting the film to the rest of the franchise.
