After an excruciating wait to find out specifics, the Halo Bearers ended up getting more than they could have possibly imagined when the specifics of Warrior Nun‘s return were confirmed.
Ever since it was first announced the former Netflix original’s campaign had succeeded in its goal of ensuring the hit comic book adaptation wouldn’t be left to wither and die on the vine, rumors abounded that it could rise from the ashes as either a feature-length conclusion or a shortened final season to bring the story to a close.
Instead, an entire movie trilogy was announced to the sheer joy and delight of many, with executive producer Dean English teasing that the series “could expand to films and TV series following characters that we already know.” Just like that, the Warrior Nun Cinematic Universe was born, and you can imagine how the fandom responded.
With Marvel’s crown slipping after a string of disappointments and James Gunn facing an uphill battle to get audiences invested in the DCU again, there’s definitely a gap in the market for a shared mythology people are actually going to like and enjoy.
Will that be Warrior Nun? Perhaps, but details remain so scarce that it’s best not to let expectations rise too high until the minutiae are hammered out, although that’s doomed to fail given the outpouring of joy on the part of Halo Bearers the world over who can’t contain their glee at the show coming back with an total, complete, and absolute vengeance.
