IT Chapter2is just six months away, but the highly-anticipated horror sequel remains quite the mystery. Sure, the home run adult casting gave fans plenty of relief, and there were some tantalizing set photos during filming, but with nothing more than a title-only teaser poster on the books, we’ll take just about any update we can get at this point.
EnterJessica Chastain, the long fan-cast top choice to play adult Beverly Marsh, who brought internet dreams to life when she signed on to reunite withMamafilmmakersAndy MuschiettiandBarbara Muschiettion the film. The actress stopped byThe Tonight Showand told Jimmy Fallon a juicy little detail about what’s in store. In short, it’s gonna be bloody.
“I’m going to say something, and I think I’m going to be in trouble, but I’m going to do it,” Chastain said with a mischevious laugh. “It might be a spoiler. But in the movie, there’s a scene that someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film in a scene. And I’ll tell you, the next day I was like pulling blood out of my eyeballs. Fake blood!”
That’s some pretty stiff competition – even with its predecessor. If you recall, the young version of Chastain’s character (played bySophia LillisMuschietti’s Instagram) wound up with a face (and bathroom) full of blood when she investigated some voices coming out of her sink drain. But from the looks of, the sequel is definitely poised to deliver some gory bits.
Alongside the original cast of IT, includingBill Skarsgardas Pennywise (of course) and the young Losers (who return for flashbacks),IT Chapter 2’s cast includesJames McAvoyas Bill Denbrough,Bill Haderas Richie Tozier,Jay Ryanas Ben Hanscom,James Ransoneas Eddie Kaspbrak,Andy Beanas Stan Uris, andIsaiah Mustafaas Mike Hanlon.
We’ll see just how bloody things get whenIT Chapter 2arrives in theaters on September 6th. you may watch what Chastain said in the video below (jump to 2:15 for theITtalk.)
