The upcoming horror is based on King’s 1986 classic novel, but did you know the IT movie only covers the first half of the story?
Fans will know the book was set in the 1950s when the Losers Club are kids and then 27 years later in the 1980s when Pennywise the Dancing Clown returns to terrorise the small town of Derry, Maine once again.
Similarly the story will be split into two movies, with the childhood section in the first IT movie relocated to 1988 and 1989, while the sequel will be set in 2016 when Pennywise returns.
Skarsgard, who plays Pennywise recently revealed plans for IT movie part 2, in an new interview.
Speaking with Metro, Skarsgard said: “I am attached to it but that’s all I can say, we’re in the early stages and I’m talking to Andy [the director] about it and figuring out what IT will be.

“It’s a different story but I’m excited to delve in deeper to the character as there’s more exploration for who Pennywise is.
When asked how his evil clown would be different three decades later, dealing with the fears of adults, the star said: “Yeah I think we’ll see where it goes but it’s definitely just… reading the movie and the book and talking about the second one, we have to raise the ante and not just do the same thing again so I’m looking forward to that process.”
Speaking with Empire, he said: “It’s funny, I went back to Stockholm after we wrapped. And every night for two weeks, I had these strange recurring Pennywise dreams.
“I was him, but I was in the wrong setting somehow. I was upset that people could see my face. It was surreal. I can’t explain it.”
IT will be released in UK cinemas on September 8, 2017.
