Stephen King's timeless horror story IT will be making its way back into theaters next year. Last year, the film was rebooted, like almost everything is these days. The remake was a smash hit, it made $700.4 million at the box office. In the original book, Pennywise the clown comes back to haunt the kids again as adults. After reuniting and agreeing to return to their hometown to face the interdimensional shape-shifting alien, the kids of IT are met with new horrors. The film, which focused on the main cast as children, will take a jump into the future as well, and the children of IT will be revisited as adults. Production for the sequel has started, and the cast united for a group picture to promote the new flick.

The adult cast includes Jessica Chastain as Beverly, James McAvoy as Bill, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, Jay Ryan as Ben, James Ransone as Eddie, Bill Hader as Richie, and Andy Bean as Stanley. Chastain and McAvoy are top-billed on the project, but don't sleep on Isaiah Mustafa or Jay Ryan. The childhood members of the original Losers Club will also be in the film. Bill Skarsgård will be reprising his roll as Pennywise. Andy Muschietti and Gary Dauberman return to direct and pen the screenplay, respectively. IT: Chapter Two hits theaters on September 6, 2019.
