12 Most Anticipated Upcoming Original Movie Characters

3. Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) - The Nun

The Nun Taissa Farmiga
Warner Bros.

The Role: Sister Irene, a nun who, in 1952 Romania, teams up with a Priest (Demián Bichir) to investigate the suicide of a nun at a remote monastery.

Why You Should Be Excited: The casting of American Horror Story's Taissa Farmiga as the female lead in this spin-off from The Conjuring 2 is extremely suspicious and interesting, considering that her older sister, Vera, plays protagonist Lorraine Warren in the main Conjuring franchise.

While this could simply be a coincidental red herring, it's also quite probable that The Nun will reveal Sister Irene to be related to Lorraine in some fashion.

Given that Lorraine would be about the same age as Taissa Farmiga during the events of The Nun, could they end up being sisters? Even if this is all for nothing, the younger Farmiga is a terrific actress and should do firm justice to a rare horror spin-off that's actually pretty enticing.
