The Conjuring spinoffs are continuing with The Nun 2, and news around the demon Valak's return is arriving fast as The Nun 2 release date looms. Following the success of his directorial debut Saw in 2004, James Wan struggled with his follow-ups. While they've since developed cult followings, both Dead Silence and Death Sentence struggled at the box office. Wan went back to his roots with 2010's Insidious, proving himself a modern horror auteur, but it was his follow-up The Conjuring which — just like Saw — spawned a box-office smashing franchise. The Nun was the second IP to spin off from the Conjurverse after Annabelle, and the second movie to feature Valak looks set to propel the demon to the same levels of infamy as the Warren's possessed doll.
