Anyone who dies in Derry never really dies.”

Earlier this week, Warner Bros. presented CinemaCon attendees with the first look at this year’s IT: Chapter Two, showing off a scene from the film along with something akin to a teaser trailer. Sadly, footage shown off at CinemaCon tends to stay at CinemaCon, but our pal Jimmy Champane breaks down what was shown off in a new video you’ll find below.

In the scene that was shown at the event, an adult Beverly Marsh (played by Jessica Chastain) returns to her childhood home to find a seemingly nice old woman living there. In her old bedroom, Bev finds the poem Ben gave her when they were kids, but things take a turn for the terrifying when the old woman starts to get real creepy… as well as fully nude.

Check out Jimmy’s footage breakdown below!

Andy Muschietti returned to direct the sequel, which features the adult version of Losers’ Club members who survived the malevolent Pennywise as kids in the 1980s.

Bill Skarsgård is back as Pennywise. James McAvoy (“Split,” upcoming “Glass”) stars as Bill, Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “Mama”) as Beverly, Bill Hader (HBO’s “Barry,” “The Skeleton Twins”) as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (TV’s “Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”) as Mike, Jay Ryan (TV’s “Mary Kills People”) as Ben, James Ransone (HBO’s “The Wire”) as Eddie, and Andy Bean(“Allegiant,” Starz’ “Power”) as Stanley.

Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Lieberher as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie.

Warner Bros. will bring Pennywise back to theaters on September 6, 2019.
