IT: CHAPTER 2: Jessica Chastain Teases Her Transformation Into Beverly Marsh
With filming on IT: Chapter 2 now underway, Jessica Chastain has taken to social media to confirm that she's started shooting. Meanwhile, the actress also teases her transformation into the older Bev.
Just days after James McAvoy took to Instagram to confirm that he'd started shooting IT: Chapter 2, Jessica Chastain has now done the same. As you can see, she shared a fan-made image showing Beverly Marsh's transformation from a child to the adult we'll catch up with when the Loser's Club returns to Derry in the sequel in a bid to bring an end to Pennywise the Clown once and for all.
Our first look at the adult cast could be with us as soon as Comic-Con. However, there was originally a plan for Chastain to appear in a post-credits scene teasing the sequel's time jump so had that not been scrapped, we would have already seen her as Bev! She was the first person to join IT: Chapter 2's cast and it's honestly hard to imagine anyone else in the role as fans were behind her from the start.
Joining her and McAvoy in IT: Chapter 2 are Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, Jay Ryan as Ben, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, James Ransone as Eddie, and Andy Bean as Stanley Uris. We've heard about a handful of other casting additions but the focus will more than likely remain on these characters and Bill Skarsgard's monstrous clown.
