Jessica Chastain Marks ‘It: Chapter 2’ ‘Day 1’ With Cool Beverly Transformation Photo

Bev is coming for you, Pennywise.

The sequel to “It” scored a major coup when it got Jessica Chastain to sign on as older Beverly Marsh. From there, the rest of the cast went on to include James McAvoy, Bill Hader, and more folks we can’t wait to see next year. (Or just see them below now in McAvoy’s photos.)

Chastain honored her first day filming for “It: Chapter 2” with a nice face morph photo with young Beverly star Sophia Lillis. Both Chastain and Lillis will be featured in the sequel, since there will be flashbacks from the adult years.

It has to be cool to be Sophia Lillis, looking at this and thinking you might grow up to look like Jessica Chastain.

“It: Chapter 2” is set 27 years after the first chapter. They are still adding more cast members during filming, which was just marked by James McAvoy with his own fun photo.

Speaking of McAvoy, his Instagram is the one to watch, since he followed Chastain’s post with a new collection of “It” cast photos:

Yes, yes, yes. Derry’s hottest club is The Losers Club!

Director Andrés Muschietti promised that the sequel will be “scarier and more intense” than the first movie.

“It: Chapter 2” is scheduled to open in theaters on September 6, 2019.

The Final ‘It: Chapter 2’ Adult Losers Club Role Goes to … The Old Spice Guy!
His name is actually Isaiah Mustafa, and Freeform fans may know him as Luke Garroway in “Shadowhunters.” But up until now, Mustafa has been most famous for his iconic Old Spice commercials.

That will change next year with “It: Chapter 2,” the sequel to the horror hit “It.”

Mustafa has been cast as the older Mike Hanlon. So at least he should smell nice as he’s terrorized by Pennywise.

He’s the final name on the board in terms of the seven adult members of the Losers Club. The 2019 movie will feature the older Losers, along with flashbacks to the young cast members who played the characters in the first movie.

Here’s the new Loser lineup:
- Jessica Chastain as adult Beverly Marsh (young Bev played by Sophia Lillis)
- James McAvoy as adult Bill Denbrough (young Bill played by Jaeden Lieberher)
- Bill Hader as Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard)
- James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer)
- Andy Bean as Stanley Uris (Wyatt Oleff)
- Jay Ryan as Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor)
- Isaiah Mustafa as Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs)
Chosen Jacobs announced who would be playing the older version of his character, and then Mustafa posted the news himself:

Look at your clown. Now back to me. Now back to the clown. Now back to the man your clown could smell like: “It: Chapter 2” is scheduled to open in theaters on September 6th, 2019.

‘It: Chapter 2’ Director Says Sequel Will Be Scarier: ‘Bring Your Adult Diapers’

Maybe Warner Bros. should land a partnership with Depend before “It: Chapter 2” opens next year.

The “It” sequel hasn’t even started filming yet, but director Andrés Muschietti talked about “Chapter 2” during WB’s presentation at CinemaCon. The movie goes into production this summer, and Muschietti teased dark things ahead:

“It’s going to be scarier and more intense, so bring your adult diapers.”

Well! That’s all he shared, though. Since filming hasn’t started, there was no footage to show. Not that you’d be able to see it anyway. A lot of other footage was shown — an “Aquaman” teaser from Warner Bros., a bunch of Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm clips — but only to the CinemaCon attendees. No clips were released to the public, unless you count potential leaks.

“It: Chapter 2” will focus on the adult versions of the Losers Club, 27 years after the first movie. But there will also be flashbacks to the past, featuring the younger stars.

Bill Skarsgard is returning as Pennywise, and Jessica Chastain is said to be playing the adult Beverly Marsh (played by Sophia Lillis in “Chapter 1”). James McAvoy is said to be in talks to play the adult Bill Denbrough (played by Jaeden Lieberher in “Chapter 1”), with Bill Hader as adult Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard in “Chapter 1”).

“It: Chapter 2” is scheduled to open in theaters on September 6th, 2019.

‘It’ Director Prepares Cast for Sequel Filming: ‘Wake Up, Losers’

“It: Chapter 2” is almost ready to head down the drain!

“It” director Andres “Andy” Muschietti has assembled his own team of Avengers, and they’ll be returning for the horror sequel. “Chapter 2” is meant to pick up the story 27 years later, with new adult actors playing the older Losers Club. However, Muschietti already said the sequel would include flashbacks to the past, and that means the original stars are coming back.

On that note, Muschietti recently posted a photo with some original cast members — Sophia Lillis, Wyatt Oleff, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Jackson Robert Scott. Sequel filming hasn’t started yet, but it’s almost time to rise-and-shine for more blood and dirt:

Wake up, losers. Derry is calling ???? #itchapter2 #itmovie

A post shared by Andy Muschietti (@andy_muschietti) on Apr 1, 2018 at 4:05pm PDT

Last year, Muschietti said they were aiming to start prep in March 2018. It sounds like filming will actually start over the summer, so they haven’t quite gotten things together yet. (“Stranger Things” Season 3 is meant to start filming right around now, so Finn Wolfhard may be going straight from the Netflix show to the movie. Or will he balance both at the same time?)

What adults will be joining the cast in “Chapter 2”?

Jessica Chastain is in talks to play the adult Beverly Marsh, but the other roles seem to be up for grabs. The young cast named their choices for older roles — including Chris Pratt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chadwick Boseman, Bill Hader, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Christian Bale.

“It: Chapter 2” is scheduled to open in theaters on September 6th, 2019.
