It: Chapter 2 Cast Includes Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, James McAvoy, Isaiah Mustafa

In the 2017 adaptation of Stephen King's novel It, a group of kids called the Losers Club are terrorized by a demented clown named Pennywise. At the end of the movie, one character has a vision they'll have to take on Pennywise again, when they're older. Now the Losers Club is all grown up in the film's sequel, which is planned for next year. That means the six children from the first film — Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier, Bill Denbrough, Mike Hanlon, Beverly Marsh, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris — will now be played by adult actors who have to escape the evil spectre known as Pennywise once more. In the past few months, we've heard many casting announcements, including the major news that Bill Hader is in negotiations to play wisecracking Richie, whom Finn Wolfhard played in the first movie.

Back in August 2017, Entertainment Weekly asked the stars of the first It to dream cast who would play their adult selves, and a few of their wishes came true. Sophia Lillis, who plays young Bev, wished for actor Jessica Chastain, and that's exactly who is set to play adult Bev. Finn also guessed correctly when he named Bill Hader as his pick for adult Richie. One character, Mike Hanlon, remained in the lineup for a few weeks, until his adult counterpart was finally revealed on June 9, 2018: Isaiah Mustafa. Yes, the Old Spice Guy (who is also on Freeform's Shadowhunters).

The most recent addition to the cast? Canadian actor Teach Grant (known recently for his role in Netflix's Altered Carbon), who Variety reported will play the grown-up version of legendary Losers Club nemesis, the bully Henry Bowers. Henry was played in the first movie by Nicholas Hamilton.

It: Chapter 2 already has a release date of September 6, 2019. Until then, tide yourself over by comparing the new adult cast with their kid actor counterparts.
