According to a new report from THR, James McAvoy and Bill Hader are both in talks to join Jessica Chastain (who is reportedly on board as Beverly Marsh) and Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgard in IT: Chapter 2.
McAvoy is circling the role of Bill Denbrough (played by Jaeden Lieberher in the original), while Bill Hader would step into the role of Richie Tozier, inheriting the part from Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard.
Characters like Ben, Mike, Eddie and Stan still need to be cast to round out the lineup, but if this goes through, then it looks like we will have half of The Losers Club locked down and ready to go for IT: Chapter 2.
