The script will be written by David Leslie Johnson, who also co-wrote "The Conjuring 2". No other information is available at this time, including a director or cast.
According to sources, the demon nun character was added during last-minute reshoots. The movie originally would have a demonic figure with horns as its antagonist character. However, Wan came up with a new concept, a demon nun, which he pitched to the studio. It was only three months before the movie's release when New Line exec gave the director their blessing.
