Yahoo News IT: Chapter 2 unites Losers Club kids with the new adult actors
IT: Chapter 2 is set to explore two periods of the Losers Club, so it was inevitable that both would unite at some point.
Well, the child actors have finally come together with their adult counterparts, and it was as cool and satisfying as we'd hoped.
The two generations appeared on stage together at CinemaCon, including Jessica Chastain and Sophia Lillis (Beverly Marsh) and Bill Hader and Finn Wolfhard (Richie Tozier).

Also on stage were Jeremy Ray Taylor and Jay Ryan (Ben Hanscom), Chosen Jacobs and Isaiah Mustafa (Mike Hanlon), Jack Dylan Grazer and James Ransone (Eddie Kaspbrak), and Wyatt Oleff and Andy Bean (Stanley Uris).
James McAvoy – aka Bill Denbrough – was also in attendance, though his child counterpart Jaeden Martell unfortunately couldn’t make it.

McAvoy reportedly joked (via Devan Coggan): "He's too talented and he threatens me, so I made him disappear."
The long-awaited second part of the classic Stephen King story is set to hit cinemas later this year, and according to Chastain, it will set a massive horror record.

"I'm gonna say something and I think I'm gonna be in trouble, but I'm gonna do it! It might be a spoiler, but in the movie there's a scene that someone said on set it's the most blood that's ever been in a horror film, in a scene," she said earlier this year during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
"And I'll tell you the next day I was pulling blood out of my eyeballs – fake blood!"
IT: Chapter 2 is due to be released on September 6.
