The summer of 2019 could see the release of a new movie in The Conjuring cinematic universe, but which film will it be?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has slated an untitled movie in The Conjuring universe for a July 3rd, 2019 release.

While the untitled movie has yet to be revealed, it was reported last summer that New Line Cinema was developing a spinoff movie based on the creepy Crooked Man supernatural character from The Conjuring 2.

The Crooked Man (a character from the English nursery rhyme "There Was a Crooked Man") provided viewers of the Conjuring sequel with ample amounts of nightmare fuel when his long limbs and lean frame (not unlike Slender Man or the Endgrave from the Stoney Creek podcast) stalked the halls of the Enfield house in The Conjuring 2. Actor and incredible contortionist Javier Botet portrayed the Crooked Man in the Conjuring sequel, and although it's not yet known if this new Conjuring movie will be a Crooked Man film, it could be fun to see Botet reprise the role.

Currently in the works with Mike Van Waes writing a screenplay from a story by James Wan (who will also produce along with Peter Safran), the Crooked Man movie would be the latest spinoff in an expanded cinematic universe that also includes The Nun (coming out this September) and the Annabelle films.

The untitled Conjuring movie could also be The Conjuring 3, which is in development with David Leslie Johnson writing a screenplay for the further adventures of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
