“I had a lot of fun writing this one, and it’s got some really good stuff in there. Michael Chaves, who’s the director — I’m a fan of his. I am excited to see what fans think about this one and excited to be bringing Valak back,” said Cooper.
Director Chaves recently toldEntertainment Weeklyabout the new movie, including how actress Aarons brings to life the creepy villain.
“Bonnie’s incredible. She can really turn it on, she really knows what’s scary, and she’s just so easy,” he said. “It’s not like she’s always in this dark Nun persona — she’s not the Method Nun.”

There’s a lot of cool stuff in it. I honestly cannot wait until it comes out so I can just unload all the little Easter eggs that we’ve peppered through the movie.”
