In December 2015, Entertainment Weekly released the first image from the film, introducing the character portrayed by Madison Wolfe.[40] On January 6, 2016, James Wan posted a teaser clip to his social media accounts revealing that the first official trailer would debut the following day.[41] Also on January 6, Yahoo! Movies exclusively released two stills from the film, featuring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson.[28] On March 26, 2016, Wan premiered the full-length trailer at WonderCon.[42] In the weeks leading up to the film's premiere, TV spots began airing.[43] This was followed by a featurette titled Strange Happenings in Enfield, in which the Hodgson sisters and Lorraine Warren discuss their experiences with the case.[44] Two weeks prior to The Conjuring 2's premiere, fans were given the opportunity to take a 360-degree virtual reality tour of the film's Enfield house setting.[45] Following that, another featurette was released, titled Audio Recordings, which featured a recording of the alleged demon that inspired the film.[46]
In her review for The Hollywood Reporter, Sheri Linden praised the film, saying, "Three years after The Conjuring rattled the multiplex with old-school horror, director James Wan ups the ante with an excellent sequel."[82] Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a mixed review, writing, "On one level, The Conjuring 2 is just a not-bad megaplex funhouse movie, no more and no less, but on another level it offers its potential fans a helping of reassurance to go along with the fear. If there are ghost demons out there, then God must be out there as well. Audiences, it was long ago proven, will pay to see both."[83] TheWrap's Alonso Duralde gave the film a positive review, stating, "Frightening rarely strikes twice in the same place, despite the efforts of so many horror sequels, but even if The Conjuring 2 doesn't deliver the delightful jolts of its predecessor, it maintains a consistent chill throughout, with a slow and steady dread that creeps up on you over time."[84]

Wan has stated on further potential sequels, "There could be many more [Conjuring] movies because the Warrens have so many stories". Screenwriters Chad and Carey Hayes have also expressed interest in working on a story for another sequel.[97] However, Wan stated that he may be unable to direct the film due to his commitments to other projects.[98] He stated to Collider, "Assuming we are lucky enough to have a third chapter, there are other filmmakers that I would love to sort of continue on the Conjuring world, if we are lucky enough".[99] Wan has also stated that, if a third film was to be made, it would ideally take place in the 1980s.[100] Wan later stated that the sequel could include lycanthropy, "Maybe we can go and do it like a classic American Werewolf in London style. That would be awesome! The Warrens set against the backdrop of The Hound of Baskerville".[101] In May 2017, Safran said it would be unlikely that a third installment would be a "haunted house" film.[102] In June 2017, it was announced a third installment was in development, with The Conjuring 2 co-writer David Leslie Johnson hired to write the screenplay.[103] In August 2017, Wan told Entertainment Weekly that the filmmakers have "been working hard on The Conjuring 3", and that "we're in the midst of working on the script, and still hashing [it] out. We want to make sure that the script is in a really good place. With how much people have loved the first two [Conjuring films], I don't want to rush in to the third one if possible".[104] By September of the following year, producer Peter Safran stated that the script was near completion and that production would begin sometime during 2019.[105] In October 2018, Wan selected Michael Chaves to direct the film.[106]
The Crooked Man film was announced just days after The Conjuring 2's big theatrical debut, and came at a time when the franchise was red hot thanks to the success of both the first film and the first spinoff, the haunted doll movie Annabelle. In the years since, two more Annabelle films have followed, as well as a spinoff centered on the demonic nun from The Conjuring 2 titled simply The Nun, and fellow spinoff movie The Curse of La Llorona. The Crooked Man would've been the next phase of this ambitious piece of universe-building, but for now at least, it seems the creature will have to wait to make his next appearance elsewhere. 2ff7e9595c
