It: Chapter Two (2019)

[Himmel]

Yes, There Will Be A Sequel To The ‘IT’ Movie

The new reboot of Stephen King’s “It” hasn’t even opened in theaters, but director Andy Muschietti is already planning for the next installment. The sequel is a near-certainty since King’s book switches off between two storylines, and it’s already known that the film that opens Friday focuses more on the child characters.

Muschietti told Variety that he doesn’t think of the next film as a sequel, more like the second half of a single story and that’s he’s prepared to helm this project as well.

“I really wanted to focus on the emotional journey of the group of kids. Getting in to that other dimension — the other side — was something that we could introduce in the second part,” Muschietti said in an interview with Yahoo Movies. “In the book the perspective of the writing… is always with the Losers, so everything they know about Pennywise is very speculative and shrouded in absurdity, so I wanted to respect that mystery feeling of not knowing what’s on the other side.”

Not really, as the first movie is only the first half of the book, so it was always planned.

I think he was being sarcastic, lol!

[Chaotic]

Yes I was.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

Waiting for the IT cinematic universe to be announced.

I'm surprised each kid didn't get an origin story before the team-up movie where they fight Thanos, I mean IT.

[Chaotic]

Will Patrick Wilson and Vera Famiga be in it?

[CyberpunkCentral]

Actually IT is part of a universe. Like how the Turtle appears in The Dark Tower and IT. Also it is hinted that Pennywise is still very much alive in the novel Dreamcatcher.

Well considering

[Show spoiler]the first film only focuses on the kid part of the book, of course they will have to make a sequel to finish the whole story.

If I remember correctly, they announced this being a two parter when they first announced the film a few years ago

Oh I'm sure we'll get solo spin off origin stories for each kid, complete with director firings and reshoots.

It has to have a sequel. Right now it is only half of the book.
