![]() ![]() This attack, inspired by the real-life murder of Charlie Howard, could be written off as simply Pennywise taking an opportunity to feed (although its implied, moreso in King's novel than the film, that the entity It - the name the Losers Club gives to the monster otherwise known as Pennywise - controls the town of Derry and may have telepathically inspired the homophobes to attack the couple. ![]() His boyfriend, Don, follows him down to the river below, just in time to watch Pennywise literally eat his heart out. In fact, Pennywise is surprisingly anti-queer.Īs has been previously reported, the film opens with a scene straight from Stephen King's original novel, in which a gay couple (Xavier Dolan and Taylor Frey) are attacked by a group of homophobes, who beat Dolan's character Adrian and throw him over the side of a bridge. But after seeing I t Chapter Two, I'm sad to announce that Pennywise is not gay, or even an ally. Between memes and makeup tutorials, Pennywise was everywhere - he and another monstrous LGBTQ+ favorite, the Babadook, were seen as #couplegoals. It: Chapter 2 will be released on September 6, 2019.In the aftermath of 2017's It, Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise the Dancing Clown became something of a gay icon. They’re all really cool and talented people, so I think they will bring a lot to the table.” It’s going to be a very different shooting experience with all adults, for sure, but it will be fun. They’re excited, and I just had a lot of fun hanging out with all of them. They’re stepping into the thing that me and Andy and the kids did. It’s weird and it’s surreal because some of them are really big stars and they’re coming in to your thing. “But off camera, I get to hang out with the entire adult cast now. This is what the actor had to say about working with the new cast: He will star alongside Jessica Chastain as Beverly Marsh, James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough, Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak, Andy Bean as Stanley Uris, Jay Ryan as Ben Hanscom, and Isaiah Mustafa as Mike Hanlon.

On becoming the character again, he said this: I don’t think I’ll ever really experience anything like it.” And now that I’m going back and doing it, it’s such a bizarre thing. I can’t even relate myself to it anymore. How surreal is that? So, it became this completely universal thing, outside of the thing.

This is what Skarsgård had to say about Pennywise’s popularity: I was like, “I’m gonna distance myself from the Tim Curry performance, and then come up with some weird stuff, myself.”” But that was also cool ‘cause I was just doing my thing and nobody knew what that was or could tell me how I should do it. There was a lot of that worry going on about it. I didn’t know if it would work, or if people would respond to it. The first time I did it, nobody knew what I would do with it, so it was just all of this expectation. ![]() It’s a bit strange ‘cause it’s a very different thing now.
