The sequel to It, which will show the children all grown up, welcomes James Ransone as the adult version of Eddy. He joins Andy Bean as Stanley, Jessica Chastain as Beverly, and James McAvoy as Bill. The Pennywise of the first film, Bill Skarsgard, will reprise his role as the child-tormenting clown monster.

James Ransone is known for starring alongside Sean Penn and Natascha McElhone in the Hulu series The First, along with the movies Sinister 2 and Tangerine.

Andy Muschietti will return to his directorial role for It: Chapter Two. Production is set to begin this summer in Toronto.
