New Images from ‘IT: Chapter Two’ Reunite the Losers Club; Skarsgård Promises “Brutal Things”
We’re now less than two months(!) away from the release of Andy Muschietti‘s IT: Chapter Two, one of the most anticipated horror movies in years. The film will reunite the Losers Club as adults in the present day, bringing them back into battle with Pennywise nearly 30 years after they defeated him for the first time. Via EW today, we’ve got new images and info.
In this year’s sequel, Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) is the only member of the group who has stayed behind in Derry, and he brings the gang back together to defeat Pennywise once and for all.
“I think that everything that people love from the first one, like the humor and the emotions and the horror, will all be there… and cranked up, in some cases,” Muschietti told the site.
The returning Bill Skarsgård, meanwhile, teased an even scarier Pennywise this time around: “He’s scarier and he’s angrier. There’s a couple of very brutal things in the film.”
Be sure to head over to Entertainment Weekly to read their full story about the film.
Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “Mama”) stars as Beverly, James McAvoy (“Split,” upcoming “Glass”) as Bill, 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 Martell as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben.
Pennywise will return in theaters and IMAX worldwide on September 6, 2019.

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
