The sequel film will be directed by Michael Chaves, who earlier helmed the 2021 horror movie ‘Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’
Actor Storm Reid has bagged the lead role in the sequel of horror hit The Nun.
The sequel, currently titled The Nun 2, will be directed by Michael Chaves, who earlier helmed the 2021 horror movie Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Nun was a prequel spinoff to 2016's The Conjuring 2 and featured Bonnie Aarons as a demonic nun. Set in a monastery in 1952, the story saw a priest and a young nun, played by Demian Bichir and Taissa Farmiga, respectively, attempting to fight the nun’s evil possessions.
The sequel is said to be set in the 1950s and the Nun isn’t quite vanquished as some believed. The details of Reid's character have been kept under wraps.
The actor is best known for featuring in the films 12 Years a Slave, A Wrinkle in Time, The Invisible Man, and shows such as When They See Us and Euphoria.
The Nun 2 has a screenplay by Akela Cooper with current revisions by Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing.
The project will be produced by James Wan and Peter Safran through their respective banners, Atomic Monster and The Safran Company. The duo have produced all eight of the Conjuring Universe movies.

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
