In the film, Pope Leo XIV is succeeded by a cardinal (the future pope) possessed by the devil:
In the 2017 horror film El Habitante, a fictional news report announces the death of Pope Leo XIV from septicemia and irreversible cardiopulmonary collapse after a week in hospital. Eight years later, Robert Prevost adopted the same papal name.
Director Guillermo Amoedo explained that he wrote the script in 2015, drawing on the prophecies of St. Malachy and Hildegard of Bingen, apocryphal theories, and the history of antipopes.
He described the coincidence as the result of historical and religious research, not a supernatural prediction. The film does not establish any real-world prophecy.
