IT Chapter 2: Pennywise Clown star Bill Skarsgard teases HORROR sequel

The Swedish actor terrified audiences as Stephen King’s evil clown last year and now returns for the sequel.

Set 27 years later, Pennywise will be back once again to terrorise the children of Derry, Maine.

Now the 27-year-old star has teased what horror fans can expect from It Chapter 2.

Speaking with Den of Geek, Skarsgard said: “We’re gearing up for it now, so I’m sort of in the process of getting back into that character of Pennywise.”

He continued: “I’m sort of in the mindset and we’re gearing up for it.

“I think they [the Losers Club cast] start in July. I’m not sure exactly when my start date is, but some time this summer.”

On Pennywise’s development, Skarsgard said, “We’re figuring it out, you know.

“I have a very good relationship with Andy [Muschietti], not only as a director and actor, but also just as a very close friend.

“So we’re having fun with it and we’re figuring out what we’re going to bring to the table for part two.”

Skarsgard is also excited by the adult Losers Club cast, which includes Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader.

He added: “I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a very different experience this time around, just given the fact that you have all of these incredible, seasoned actors to play against, as opposed to having all the kids.

“So it’s going to be a different experience for sure. But I’m looking forward to it.”

IT Chapter 2 director Andy recently teased a scarier and more intense outing than its predecessor.

Appearing at Cinema Con in Las Vegas last month, he took part in the Warner Bros panel.

According to Fandango he teased: “It’s going to be scarier and more intense, so bring you adult diapers.”

It: Chapter Two will be released in UK cinemas on September 6, 2019.
