It: Chapter Two will take place 27 years later (since, ya know, that's how often Pennywise reappears in Derry) — which means our beloved Losers' Club members will be (about) 40 years old.
So, we're gonna see a different, older, cast.
The movies release date is still less than a year away (Sept. 6 2019), but they've already announced the casting and it's SPOT-ON. Let's take a look, shall we?
Beverly Marsh — played by Sophia Lillis as a kid and Jessica Chastain as an adult:
Chastain was the first actor to be locked down for a role (other than returning cast members, like Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise). She was also Lillis's dream pick to play the older version of herself.
Bill Denbrough — played by Jaeden Lieberher as a kid and James McAvoy as an adult:
According to Variety, McAvoy was in talks back in April.
Richie Tozier — played by Finn Wolfhard as a kid and Bill Hader as an adult:
Wolfhard himself thought it'd be cool if Hader played the older version of himself and it looks like the Stranger Things star's wish came true!
Eddie Kaspbrak — played by Jack Dylan Grazer as a kid and James Ransone as an adult:
No stranger to Horror franchises, Ransone recently starred in the Sinister films as Deputy So-and-So. I really see it!
Stanley Uris — played by Wyatt Oleff as a kid and Andy Bean as an adult:
Bean doesn't have a ton of credits to his name, but he's best known as Greg in the Starz series Power. I haven't actually seen Power, but Bean seems to really look the part?!
Ben Hanscom — played by Jeremy Ray Taylor as a kid and Jay Ryan as an adult:
American audiences won't be that familiar with Ryan, but he's best known for playing Jack Scully in the Australian soap opera Neighbors. Aaaand I'm officially loving this casting.
Mike Hanlon — played by Chosen Jacobs as a kid and Isaiah Mustafa as an adult:
You probably know him best as "the Old Spice guy," but Mustafa also plays Luke Garroway, a NY detective, in the TV show Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments. And now we're blessed to have him join It: Chapter Two and complete the Losers' Club casting!
And, YES...your beloved Bill Skarsgård will be back to play Pennywise the Clown
