IT: Chapter 2 promises to conclude the story that began back in 2017, and, as we recently learned, it will boast an epic runtime of 2 hours, 49 minutes. Given the length of Stephen King's novel, this is no great surprise, and it's easy to imagine Warner Bros. wanting to move forward with a number of spinoffs should this second instalment find as much success as the first.
Now, IMAX has released a new TV spot which includes plenty of awesome (and scary) new footage.
Showing the Losers' Club reminiscing over their childhood, it quickly becomes clear that the adults will have to come together in order to put an end to the demonic clown once and for all.
This sequel is shaping up to be something special, and with director Andy Muschietti set to tackle
The Flash once he's finished promoting the horror movie (assuming he's not the latest filmmaker to drop out due to "creative differences"), comic book fans may want to keep a close eye on this one...

Visually, Pennywise hasn't changed at all since the last time we saw him and he's going to be terrorising the Losers' Club in even more disturbed ways in this sequel.
"He’s scarier and he’s angrier," star Bill Skarsgard explains.
"There’s a couple of very brutal things in the film."
The first movie's impressive cast of kids return in the sequel and here we see director Andy Muschietti alongside Chosen Jacobs, Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, and Jeremy Ray Taylor. Apparently, their scenes will be used to depict the recovered memories of their adult counterparts.
Richie (Bill Hader) and Bill (James McAvoy) are pictured here, and neither of them remember the events of their childhood. "When you leave Derry, something happens where you forget it all," says McAvoy. "I think it’s like a [power] of Pennywise’s. Because if everybody could remember what he gets up to every 27 years through history, we’d go, ‘Hey, Derry’s really f—ed up, we should do something about that. We should send in the f—ing Army!"
Mike is reportedly responsible for bringing the Losers' Club back to Derry to stop Pennywise.
"He’s trying to figure out what the hell’s going on in this town and what he can do to put an end to this cycle," Isaiah Mustafa reveals.
"It’s an obsession for him."
A fantastic, A-List cast has been assembled to play The Losers' Club in the movie, as we'll see James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough, James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak, Jessica Chastain as Beverly Marsh, Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike Hanlon, and Jay Ryan as Ben Hanscom.
IT: Chapter Two will be holding a special "ScareDiego" event at Comic-Con and while we don't know whether that means a new trailer is on the horizon, it would be a smart move to release one!
