Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, and Bonnie Aarons all reprise their roles from the previous Nun film sequel, which director Chaves shot in France.
“Frenchie has moved on from the first film and he is at a Catholic school as a groundskeeper-handyman,” Wan explains of the movie, which also stars The Last of Us actress Storm Reid. “But we saw that at the end of the first movie that the evil was still with him. It’s slowly percolating, coming back to the forefront. He realizes that there’s only one person that can really help him, and he reaches out to Taissa Farmiga’s character. I love this platonic friendship that the two of them have. She cares very much for him, and she wants to do everything she can to help him. At the same time, she has to confront this evil and fight it again.”
“It was one of those scripts you read and is legitimately scary,” he says. “Sometimes, especially when you’re reading a lot of horror movie scripts, you know that you can make it scary, but her writing and her take on the world and the characters were so unsettling. It took everything that worked with the Nun in Conjuring 2, and everything that worked in the first Nun, and just took it further.”
