Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Last we heard, it looks like THE NUN 2 will be the next film written within The Conjuring Universe. But what's going on with THE CROOKED MAN spin-off? THAT'S what this here horror movie fan wants to see! And it seems actor Javier Botet sure as sh*t wants to see it happen as well.

Javier Botet recently revealed

Since the first time I met the producers when we were shooting Conjuring 2, they spoke to me, they told me that the intention was to make a spinoff. So I said, "Okay, let's make Conjuring 2 first and then we will play it by ear." But I love the character. It's amazing, beautiful. So it's a pity to see only a little, little part in The Conjuring 2. I'm so excited and I want to make a Crooked Man spinoff. But I know the same that everybody knows. They wrote the screenplay and they are waiting at the moment. They want to do it, but we don't have a schedule. We don't know when it's going to happen.

Producer Peter Safran said back in April:

There are a bunch of things that we're exploring in [Annabelle Comes Home] that I just love. That I think are going to be great. Frequently, the audience tells you what the next one should be. When we did Conjuring 2, we all thought Crooked Man would be the next one out the gate. We just loved it. It was just a great character. Instead, the audience was so fascinated by the nun. It's not that we won't do Crooked Man, but you kind of have to balance out [the franchise]. I'm sure that we have ideas of what we want to do beyond this, from the artifact room, but I suspect that we'll probably … The audience will tell us exactly what we should be doing.

The last time (and only) time we saw The Crooked Man on the screen was in director James Wan's THE CONJURING 2 starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. How bad do YOU want to see this The Conjuring Universe spin-off? Make sure to hit us up and let us know below!
