The Nun 2 Reveals First Details Of Valak’s Return
The first footage from The Nun 2 has debuted at CinemaCon this week, and while the teaser hasn’t been made publically available, attendees at the con have described the debut footage. The film sees Taissa Farmiga returning as Sister Irene, to face off against Bonnie Aarons as The Nun, also known as the demon Valak. Euphoria’s Storm Reid will also be joining the cast in her Conjuring universe debut.
According to a description of the trailer from Slash Film, it opens with a group of girls playing a game called “Defy The Devil” in a spooky abandoned church. The footage shows a statue hidden under a sheet slowly move its head, which initially goes unnoticed by the girls. As part of their game, they dare each other to look for the devil in the form of a monstrous goat in the church’s stained glass windows. There does turn out to be a goat depicted in the window, and its eyes glow red as the Nun appears behind one of the girls. She tries to run but is trapped in the church as the statue starts to move again, the sheet slowly falling off to the sound of the girl’s screams.
The trailer takes us back to Sister Irene after this cold open. A priest is asking for her help in dealing with the demon nun Valak, who has returned to the world to wreak havoc. After a montage of what is described as “religious horror imagery,” the trailer ends with a short scene of two girls exploring a crawlspace, where they encounter an eerie woman with her back turned. The woman grabs one of the girl’s faces in one final jump scare.
‘Mrs. Davis’ trailer pits AI against a nun
The biggest fight of the year might also be its most unexpected: a nun versus an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence.
That’s the basic premise of Mrs. Davis, a new series coming soon to Peacock. Nun Simone (Betty Gilpin) has devoted her life to destroying the A.I. known as Mrs. Davis, which is used by basically the whole world. However, Mrs. Davis knows Simone is coming, and what’s more, she seems excited at the prospect, telling Simone through human users that she must find the Holy Grail. Sounds bonkers, but color me intrigued!
Mrs. Davis starts streaming on Peacock April 20.
