“Beauty and the Beast” star Jay Ryan has joined the Losers Club for Andy Muschietti’s It: Chapter Two.
Ryan, who recently starred in the mini-series “Fighting Season” and “Mary Kills People” joins the cast as the adult version of Ben Hanscom.
Ryan will star alongside Jessica Chastain (Beverly), James McAvoy (Bill), James Ranson (Eddie), Andy Bean (Stanley), and Bill Hader (Richie). Bill Skarsgard is also set to return as Pennywise.
Muschietti directs from the script penned by Gary Dauberman on the film set to begin production this summer, Variety reports.
The first chapter of It centered on a group of children, known as the Losers Club, who are terrorized by Pennywise the clown and forced to face their own demons to defeat him. “Chapter Two” will follow the same characters as adults who return to their hometown years later to face Pennywise once again.
It: Chapter Two will open in theaters nationwide on September 6, 2019.
