It was just yesterday that we brought you guys the news that James McAvoy and Bill Hader are in talks to take on the adult roles of Bill and Richie in Andy Muschietti's upcoming sequel to STEPHEN KING'S IT. And today, fellow (rumored) castmate Jessica Chastain has commented on the rumors in a fu*king hilarious way.
The actress took to Twitter and posted the following tweet:
Haha! Classic.
I can't help but take this as "proof" that not only are McAvoy and Chastain in serious talks for IT: CHAPTER 2, but between each other they have already confirmed their acceptance of the roles. But I guess we'll see for sure soon. Are you excited that McAvoy and Hader may join IT: CHAPTER 2? Make sure to hit us up and let us know in the comments below or on social media!
