Sadly, one of 2020's superhero movies has not graced the movie of Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con special, but it's hard to complain when
IT: Chapter Two has been chosen!
While Warner Bros. is giving Comic-Con a miss, the horror franchise will be making its presence felt and now a whole gallery of official images have been released alongside quotes from the cast and magazine covers putting the spotlight on the villainous Pennywise and the A-List actors who make up the adult Losers' Club.
"I think that everything that people love from the first one, like the humor and the emotions and the horror, will all be there," says director Andy Muschietti,
"and cranked up, in some cases."

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!
