The Pope’s Exorcist 2 teased alongside multiple sequels
Instead of a post-credits scene, the future of The Pope’s Exorcist was teased in the final moments of the movie.
After Father Amorth and Father Esquibel defeated Asmosdeus, the former brings Esquibel to meet the Pope back at the Vatican.
Bishop Lumumba then takes the pair into the library and explains that Asmodeus’ domain in the abbey of San Sebastian was only one of 199 locations on Friar Ojeda’s map where Satan’s forces dwell.
Tasked with visiting all locations, Amorth asks for Esquibel’s help fulfilling the lifetime’s worth of work, to which he agrees.
This final scene not only teases The Pope’s Exorcist 2 but multiple sequels on the horizon if the debut is popular enough.
There may not be 199 sequels on the table, but there seems to be an abundance of stories from Amorth’s memoirs to adapt.
