The demonic Nun is barely in The Nun 2,
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: Major spoilers for The Nun 2 below!Despite being the titular character, Valak barely appears in horror sequel The Nun 2. The Conjuring franchise's Valak is the definition of a happy accident. The character first appeared in The Conjuring 2 but was added late in re-shoots when director James Wan was unhappy with the original demon design he was working with.
The Nun 2 picks up four years on from the events of the original, where Sister Irene is again tasked with stopping Valak. The sequel repeats the series formula for success - featuring many scenes of characters walking sloooooowly down dark corridors only to be startled by loud noises - while it's confirmed there's some connection between Sister Irene and Lorraine Warren .
Even so, considering the Nun is such an icon at this point, the fact the demon has even less screentime than in The Conjuring 2 or The Nun is strange. Director Michael Chaves could be taking a less is more approach, as many horror sequels tend to lessen the impact of their villains - such as A Nightmare on Elm Street did with Freddy Krueger - through overexposure.
Did Bonnie Aarons' Lawsuit Affect Valak's Nun 2 Screentime? In August 2023, it was revealed that the Nun's performer Bonnie Aarons had launched a lawsuit against Warner Bros, New Line Cinema and Scope Productions in relation to merchandising shares. The complaint covers her contract for the original film, which on top of her fee included a share of merchandising regarding Valak, and the suit alleges that Warner Bros has attempted to hide the true amount she is owed.
