The Cast of the It Sequel Is Finally Taking Shape! Meet the Stars

The Son actress is on board to play Bill's wife, Audra, who's a model and actress. She accompanies her husband back home to Derry and has a few nasty run-ins with Pennywise herself.

Bean will play the ill-fated adult version of Stanley Uris. For those of you not familiar with the books, Stanley doesn't factor into the adult story for long since he's so scarred by everything he experienced as a child.

Chastain was always a pretty solid guess when it came to adult Beverly. After all, she worked with It director Andy Muschietti on the 2013 horror film Mama. There's also the fact that Muschietti said he already had Chastain in mind for the sequel back in September 2017, and Chastain even expressed interest in taking on the role. In February, she was as good as locked in. Talk about a perfect storm of circumstances!

Hader comes a bit out of left field, but we could totally see him taking on the role of loud-mouth Richie Tozier. And that's who he's reportedly set to play, according to the latest news from The Hollywood Reporter. In the story, Richie is a wise-cracking disc jockey, which is not far off from how he is as a kid. And, I mean, we can kind of see the resemblance to Finn Wolfhard. If we squint.

In April, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that McAvoy is in negotiations to take on the role of our lead hero, Bill Denbrough. As an adult, Bill is a novelist who pens horror books for a living. McAvoy definitely has some horror chops: he did an incredible job in 2017's Split, which was directed by M. Night Shyamalan. We're into it.
