According to Deadline, rising young star McKenna Grace has been tapped to join Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema’s forthcoming horror film Malignant, which reunites Grace with The Conjuring universe creator James Wan, who have previously worked together in last year’s Annabelle Comes Home.
The film will be Wan’s first non-Conjuring horror collaboration with the two studios, and principal photography wrapped late last year.
Malignant seemingly has no relation to the James Wan penned graphic novel Malignant Man, previously set up as a feature film at Fox, though given the titles it’s not a stretch to imagine a connection.
The film is being financed through Starlight Media and Midas Innovation, who will distribute in China as New Line handles the remaining distribution.
