We then get a series of quick shots of the rest of the cast reuniting and returning to Derry, going back into those terrifying sewers in hopes of killing the clown from their childhoods for real this time.
Although Chapter Two is set to focus on the adult cast, the kids are also returning in flashback scenes, and we see a few shots of them in the new footage. After that long buildup in the beginning, we also get the return of Pennywise's clown form in all its horrifying glory.
The original It, which covered about half of Stephen King's novel, hit theaters in 2017 and was an instant phenomenon, becoming the highest-grossing horror film of all time with a worldwide gross $700 million. Chapter Two, the conclusion of this two-part adaptation from director Andy Muschietti, will float into theaters on Sept. 6. Brendan Morrow
