X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX Actress Jessica Chastain Now Officially In Talks To Star In The IT Sequel As Bev
Director Andy Muschietti has already expressed interest in reuniting with Jessica Chastain for his IT sequel, and now the Mama actress is reportedly in talks to play the older version of Beverley Marsh...
According to Variety, Jessica Chastain is in negotiations to star in New Line’s IT sequel as the adult version of Beverly Marsh. Talks are said to be in the very early stages.
Director Andy Muschietti previously said he'd hoped to get the highly in-demand X-Men: Dark Phoenix actress on board for the second part of the block-busting horror flick and Chastain had responded very positively, so most of us figured it was only a matter of time before this was made official.
In the book, Bev goes through a lot of horrible stuff as an adult so it's certainly reassuring that an actor the caliber of Chastain is in line for the role.
IT part 2 is set to hit theaters on September 3, 2019.
