The Conjuring franchise has reached its final chapter, and the inspiration behind its conclusion might surprise you. The horror series that captivated audiences for over a decade has drawn its last breath with 'The Conjuring: Last Rites,' and it's all thanks to a Marvel movie.
The decision to wrap up the beloved horror saga was a bold one, especially considering its immense success. But director Michael Chaves had a clear vision from the start. In an exclusive interview, Chaves revealed that the ending of 'Last Rites' was inspired by none other than the iconic 'Logan' from the Marvel universe.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Chaves wanted to emulate the emotional impact of 'Logan' by giving the Warrens' story a definitive conclusion while hinting at the adventures their daughter might have. This approach, he believed, would leave a lasting impression on viewers, much like 'Logan' did for superhero fans. And who can forget the influence of 'Logan' on 'Avengers: Endgame,' even without Kevin Feige's direct involvement?
Chaves' intention to end the franchise on a high note was shared by New Line Cinema and executive Dave Neustadter, who believed in ending the series while it was still thriving. This strategic move ensured that 'Last Rites' would be a memorable finale, leaving fans wanting more.
However, the director hints at the possibility of future Conjuring films, stating that the audience's demand will be the driving force. But for now, 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' stands as a testament to the power of storytelling, leaving fans with a satisfying conclusion and a hint of what could be.
And this is where the controversy begins—is it truly the end? Will the audience's love for the Warrens bring them back for more? Only time will tell, and the comments section awaits your thoughts on this hauntingly beautiful cinematic journey.
