Hello, horror fans! You've been clamoring for it, and now it's finally happening. Yes, you guessed it right, It: Chapter Two is officially confirmed! We're diving back into the chilling streets of Derry, Maine, and we're here to spill the tea on everything we know about the sequel to the 2017 hit, It. So, grab your Losers' Club jackets, and let's get started! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and it: welcome to derry season 2 confirmed.
It: Chapter Two - The Basics
Alright, let's kick things off with the basics. It: Chapter Two is the follow-up to the 2017 film It, which was a massive success, grossing over $700 million worldwide. The first movie focused on the Losers' Club as kids, facing off against the ancient, shape-shifting evil that terrorizes Derry every 27 years - Pennywise, the dancing clown. The sequel will pick up where the first left off, with the Losers returning to Derry as adults to fulfill their promise and finally put an end to It once and for all.
The Losers' Club All Grown Up
One of the most anticipated aspects of It: Chapter Two is seeing the Losers' Club as adults. The first film introduced us to the lovable losers as kids, and now we'll get to see them all grown up and bringing their A-game to the fight against Pennywise.
- Jessica Chastain will be taking on the role of Bev Marsh, the only girl in the Losers' Club who was able to hold her own against the town's bullies. - James McAvoy will play Bill Denbrough, the leader of the Losers' Club who suffered a traumatic loss at the hands of It. - Bill Hader will step into the role of Richie Tozier, the funny man of the group with a quick wit and a love for comedy. - Bill Skarsgård will reprise his role as the terrifying Pennywise the Clown, the ancient evil that feeds on fear and takes the form of each person's worst nightmare.
The Story So Far
The first It movie was based on the first half of Stephen King's novel, focusing on the Losers' Club as kids. The second half of the book, which It: Chapter Two will be based on, follows the Losers as adults, 27 years after their first encounter with It. Here's a quick refresher on where we left off:
- The Losers' Club made a blood oath to return to Derry if It ever came back. - They all left Derry behind, moving on with their lives but never forgetting the horrors they faced. - In the final moments of the first film, we see Mike Hanlon (played by Chosen Jacobs in the first film and Isaiah Mustafa in the sequel) staying behind in Derry, keeping watch over the town and maintaining the Losers' Club's clubhouse.
What We Know About It: Chapter Two
Now that we've got the basics down, let's dive into what we know about It: Chapter Two so far!
The Return to Derry
The Losers' Club will be returning to Derry, Maine, after receiving a call from Mike Hanlon. The town hasn't changed much; it's still plagued by disappearances and a dark, eerie feeling that something sinister is lurking just beneath the surface.
The Power of Memory
In the first film, we saw how It manipulated the Losers' memories to keep them from remembering their past encounters with the evil entity. In It: Chapter Two, the Losers will have to confront their own memories and fears to stand a chance against Pennywise. The power of memory will play a significant role in the sequel, as the Losers must recall their past experiences with It to strengthen their bond and face their fears.
The Ritual
In the first film, the Losers discovered that It could be defeated by killing it in its physical form. In It: Chapter Two, they'll learn that there's more to defeating It than just taking down Pennywise. They'll have to perform a ritual to banish It from Derry for good, which involves facing their own personal fears and overcoming them.
The New Kid on the Block
While the original Losers' Club will be the focus of It: Chapter Two, there's a new kid in town who might play a significant role in the fight against It. Jaeden Martell, who played Young Bill Denbrough in the first film, will return as an adult version of the character. It's unclear how his adult self will factor into the story, but we're excited to find out!
What We Don't Know (Yet)
While we've got a pretty good idea of what to expect from It: Chapter Two, there are still plenty of mysteries surrounding the sequel. Here are a few things we're dying to know more about:
The Final Form of It
In the first film, we saw Pennywise as the main form of It, but we know that It can take on many shapes and sizes. We're curious to see what other forms It will take in the sequel and how the Losers will fare against them.
The Fate of the Losers' Club
We know that the Losers made a blood oath to return to Derry if It ever came back, but we don't know if they'll all make it out alive. With It: Chapter Two set to be a darker and more intense film than its predecessor, we can't help but wonder if any of our favorite Losers will meet their end.
The True Origin of It
While we've seen glimpses of It's origins in the first film, we still don't know the full story behind the ancient evil that plagues Derry. We're hoping that It: Chapter Two will shed some light on the origins of It and how it came to be.
The Director and Writer's Take on It: Chapter Two
Andy Muschietti, who directed the first It film, will be returning to helm the sequel. Muschietti has promised that It: Chapter Two will be a darker and more intense film than its predecessor, with more practical effects and a greater focus on the horror elements of the story.
Gary Dauberman, who co-wrote the first It film, will be taking on sole writing duties for the sequel. Dauberman has promised that It: Chapter Two will be a love letter to the source material, staying faithful to Stephen King's novel while also adding some new twists and turns.
The Release Date and More
It: Chapter Two is set to hit theaters on September 6, 2019. While we don't have a trailer yet, we're expecting one to drop soon, and we'll be sure to update you as soon as it does!
Final Thoughts
We're beyond excited for It: Chapter Two, and we can't wait to see the Losers' Club return to Derry to face their fears once and for all. While we wait for the movie to hit theaters, be sure to revisit the first film and brush up on your Stephen King knowledge.
