So what’s in store for our gang this time around? The first movie, It, focused on the Loser Club as pre-teens as they dealt with a myth coming to life. Pennywise the Dancing Clown, a shapeshifter emerges every 27 years to feed on children. The Loser’s Club was able to send Pennywise away, but did not destroy it. It: Chapter 2 will pick up 27 years after the first movie, when the Loser’s Club have all grown up and return to Derry to deal with Pennywise once and for all.
What do you think? Did casting get it right?
It: Chapter 2 is set to be released on September 6, 2019.
