Director Chaves told us Entertainment every week That there was a discussion about including all previous “trolling” villains for an “Avengers: Endgame” -inspired final film. “Even when we developed it, we threw a bunch of ideas: ‘How shamelessly big can we do it?’ “How epic can we do it?” “Is this culmination on all the demons that will meet them?”
Producer Wan, who also directed the first two “Conjuring” films, agreed that it was best to centen the function only on Farmiga and Wilson’s characters. “The banking heart of this franchise is Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson who plays Ed and Lorraine,” Wan said. “Family’s dynamics, the faith that the characters have and the faith they have in each other are really the things that drive this particular franchise.
