Your support makes all the difference.Following the monumental success of last year’s It, there’s been a huge amount of Hollywood chatter regarding who will play the older versions of the Loser’s Club members.
Already, we know Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader will play Beverly, Bill, and Richie, respectively. Variety reports that Andy Bean and James Ransone will take on the roles of Stanley and Eddie for the sequel.
Bean recently appeared in the now-cancelled HBO show Here and Now alongside Holly Hunter, while Ransone is best known for a role in second season of The Wire. Ransone announced the role on Twitter before quickly deleting the message.
The character Stanley – the shy son of a rabbi – was previously played by Wyatt Olef and the hypochondriac Eddie was portrayed by Jack Dylan Grazer. The two young actors, along with other members of Chapter One‘s cast, will reportedly return for flashback sequences.
Bill Skarsgard will return as Pennywise for the sequel, which will once again be directed by Andy Muschietti and penned by Gary Dauberman.
No other casting announcements for Chapter Two have been revealed. The sequel will reach cinemas 6 September 2019.
