Paparazzi photos of Javier Botet’s character as “Leper” have surfaced online and show the character in full makeup, which looks gnarly, to say the least.

Yesterday, the first official look at Pennywise in full costume was revealed and it definitely caused a lot of debates. Some find it to be a great outfit while others find it almost comical. Meanwhile, I’ll wait to see Bill Skarsgard in action before I come to my own opinion.
Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Hamilton, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, and Jeremy Ray Taylor are the modern Losers’ Club, seven kids who are terrorized by Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard).
Creature performer Javier Botet will play The Leper, and Owen Teague plays Patrick Hocksetter, a bully who torment the Losers’ Club.
Muschietti directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman and Chase Palmer. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg, and Barbara Muschietti produce.
“In a small town in Maine, seven children known as The Losers’ Club come face to face with life problems, bullies, and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise.“
