IT: CHAPTER TWO Adds MOSAIC Actor James Ransone & POWER Actor Andy Bean

Good casting. Ransone actually resembles the kid.

It is really a nice cast they have come up with. I suppose the original actor Bill Skarsgård is back as that SOB Pennywise? He did it well and was creepy enough from what I saw.

Is the first movie good?

Ransone is perfect for Eddie!

He actually does look a lot like an older version of the kid who played Eddie in Chapter 1. Good casting there. I would've gone for Amy Adams for Beverly though.

As much as I can't deny James Ransone has a legit resemblance to the kid who played Eddie (& I [frick]ing hated him in the only thing of his I've ever seen, his character in The Wire) I honestly still feel like I really hit it out of the park for the most part with my adult casting for the sequel...

Bill: Jason Bateman
Ben: Joel Edgerton
Beverly: Jessica Chastain
Mike: Anthony Mackie
Richie: Bill Hader
Eddie: Adam Scott
Stan: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

While I grant you that JGL might be the weakest part of that, but considering how the character's used in the sequel, I think you can get away with it. And again, while I concede Ransone looks like Eddie, that actor seems like he'd still be a bit too young for where they'd be in a 2018ish timeframe.

Though I still don't quite get how they're going to get away with doing NEW flashback material of the kids in the sequel. If it's supposed to be stuff that also happened back around that same time as we saw in Chapter 1, but c'mon pretty much all of those kids have already aged-out of realistically looking just the same as they did for the first movie. I mean this is right in that prime time of where kids grow and change their look fast.
