The new horror sequel also expanded his relationship with Eddie, revealing that Finn Wolfhard’s young Richie was in love with his hypochondriac best friend.
Bill Hader stole the show in IT Chapter Two, allowing the actor to use his signature comedic chops to play the wisecracking Loser.
This version of Richie was a professional comic, who hasn’t grown out of making jokes at this friends’ expense.
And the sexual jokes he often made throughout the franchise were a front to his true feelings.
