Gaze Upon the Adult Stars of the It Sequel Before They're Terrorized By Pennywise

It's been a while since the It sequel was confirmed (and titled It Chapter Two), and now the next installment has finally arrived in theaters with a brand-new cast.

As production on the sequel moved forward, the most important detail to consider was the huge time jump; the film leaps forward 27 years, when Pennywise returns and all the "Losers" have grown up and moved away (except for Mike Hanlon, who stays behind as a librarian in Derry).

With such a big temporal leap, we were always going to need adult counterparts for each of the seven kids we meet in the first film. We even had some pretty strong opinions about casting, but obviously, Hollywood was determined to pave its own way. It's fine. Check out who's in!
