So, turns out Pennywise doesn't just want revenge on The Losers' Club, he's happy to see them return to Derry because he... missed them?

A new featurette for It Chapter 2 has been released online, and in it Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgard touches on the killer clown's chilling reasons for wanting our heroes back in their nightmarish hometown.

“Pennywise has a craving for the Losers,” the actor explains. “He wants revenge, but it’s more than that.”

Hear more from Skarsgard along with castmates James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa and James Ransome in the video below, which also features some fresh footage from the highly-anticipated horror sequel.





It Chapter Two hits theaters on September 5. You can have a look at some recently released stills from EW by clicking on the "view list" button below.

Pennywise is definitely not clowning around in It Chapter Two. “He’s scarier and he’s angrier,” notes BSkarsgård. “There’s a couple of very brutal things in the film.” 
Director Andy Muschietti gathered the young actors who played the Losers in the first film (pictured: Chosen Jacobs, Finn Wolfhard, Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, and Jeremy Ray Taylor) for scenes in It Chapter Two depicting the recovered memories of the adult characters.
All the other members of the Losers’ Club, including Richie (Hader) and Bill (McAvoy), don’t remember the traumatic 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!”
They’re brought together by Mike (played by Mustafa), who is the one member of the Losers’ Club who still lives in Derry and needs the help of his childhood pals for a repeat match against the killer clown. “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,” says Mustafa. “It’s an obsession for him.” 
The Losers’ Club — 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  — reconvenes in Derry 27 years after facing off against Pennywise, who was beaten but not destroyed at the end of 2017’s It.
Pennywise is back to terrify the now grown-up Losers’ Club in in It Chapter Two (out Sept. 6), starring Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader, among others.

@Battabing - That settles it, I'm getting HBO Max!
I wonder why not get the classic series too? It can't be that much more expensive to get the bundle (specially as this is a long term deal) and with the animated recreations being pumped out every couple of months they would get new content out of it too.

I think that by this film, Bill Skarsgård will have cemented his place as a horror figure in Hollywood's history. Just as much as the original Pennywise Tim Curry or Robert Englund as Freddy.

The adult casting here is spot on. They all look very close to their child counterparts, maybe except for McAvoy and Chastain, but they're both great actors so that doesn't matter so much. I would've loved to have seen Amy Adams as adult Beverly though.
