Jessica Chastainhas officially wrapped filming onIT: Chapter 2, as evidenced by a new bloody set photo from Andres Muschietti, who made the announcement. As soon as it was revealed that the sequel was going to take place with the adult Losers' Club, fans immediately thought that Chastain would make the perfect adult Beverly, and after months of rumors and whispers, it was confirmed that she was taking on the role to work with Muschietti again. Production onIT 2started earlier this summer, and it appears that the whole project could be getting close to wrapping.
In the set photo fromIT 2that Andres Muschietti shared, Jessica Chastain can be seen covered in fake blood and hugging the director with a huge smile on her face as Muschietti looks lovingly annoyed. The director announced that Chastain is “wrapped, but not forgotten,” in the caption of the picture. Muschietti and Chastain previously worked on 2013’sMama.
The picture of Jessica Chastain from the set ofIT 2comes just days after the leak of ourfirst look at Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise the Dancing Clownfrom the set. The evil clown was spotted in Port Hope, Ontario, sitting on a giant statue of Paul Bunyan and hopefully bringing an iconic scene from Stephen King’s book to life. Skarsgard looks incredibly creepy sitting on the shoulder of the 31-foot replica of the Bunyan statue that sits in Bangor, Maine. Let’s hope that more pictures of Pennywise make their way online in the near future.
In addition to Jessica Chastain, theadult Losers' ClubinIT 2consists of James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough, Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, Jay Ryan as Ben Hanscom, James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Isaiah Mustafa as Mike Hanlon. One of the bloodiest moments in the first film was whenBeverlywas covered in blood after her sink started spraying it into her face. The new set image indicates that Bev will be seeing some more blood in the sequel as an adult, which means that the rest of the club will probably see their fair share yet again.
IT 2opens in theaters on September 6th, 2019 and fans of Andres Muschietti’s first installment are anxiously awaiting the sequel. For the most part, Stephen King fans were impressed with what Muschietti pulled off, especially considering how long the source material is. Taking the movie and spreading it out over two chapters was definitely a wise decision, taking a cue from the original miniseries. With that being said, there is a lot of pressure to get the story right andstay true to the source material, while creating something that is new and unique to storm the box office. you may check out the latest set photo of Jessica Chastain below, provided byAndres Muschietti’s Instagramaccount.
