![]() Skarsgård then shared that "all the clues" in playing Pennywise can be found in Stephen King's novel: If you start reading Stephen King’s cocaine-binged book, you just go like, ‘What the hell?’ I mean there’s so, so many weird tantrums and abstractions that you can kind of sit, and decipher, and that’s what I did with the character, and I really enjoy that aspect, and then inform the character." "And if someone else gets to do it, my advice would just be: do it your own, make it your own, have fun with it, you know what I mean? What I thought was so pleasurable about that character was how incredibly abstract he was. If a new actor portrays Pennywise in Welcome to Derry (which is likely), the John Wick: Chapter 4 villain actor offered solid advice to his successor, telling him to "do it your own, make it your own, have fun with it:" I’m, as of now, not currently involved in it." "Yeah, yeah, we’ll see what they come up with and what they do with it. When Jake Hamilton of Jake's Takes asked about his potential comeback, Skarsgård first confirmed that he is "not currently involved" with the IT prequel show: Speaking as a guest on Jake's Takes, Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgård, who portrayed the evil clown killer in 2017's IT and 2019's IT: Chapter Two, addressed if he will return as the iconic horror character in Welcome to Derry. Pennywise Actor Reacts to HBO Max's IT Prequel Show Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs developed the project for television, with Fuchs confirmed to write the teleplay of its first episode and act as showrunner alongside Brad Caleb Kane and Andy serving as director for multiple installments. Welcome to Derry will further explore the world of Stephen King's IT universe, with its official description, via Variety, stating that it "expands the vision" of Andy Muschietti's two feature movies, IT and IT: Chapter Two. IT had a difficult start, but in the end, everything worked out well for all those involved.As the IT universe is set to expand, one key actor from the movies is not likely to return in the upcoming prequel show, Welcome to Derry, under the HBO Max banner. Though he wasn’t a newcomer, having starred in Netflix’s Hemlock Grove as Roman Godfrey and appeared in minor roles in Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina and The Divergent Series: Allegiant, IT give Skarsgård’s career a big push, and among his post-Pennywise works are the series Castle Rock and films like Deadpool 2, Assassination Nation, Villains, Cherry, and The Northman. Other names on the list were Mark Rylance, Kirk Acevedo, and Tilda Swinton. Prior to Skarsgård and even Poulter, Ben Mendelsohn was offered the role, but ended up turning it down as New Line wanted him to take a sizable pay cut. Hugo Weaving was reportedly the other finalist, but Skarsgård was chosen as he had the ability to play a more childlike and fun Pennywise as well as a creepy one, whereas Weaving was just creepy. In June 2016, Bill Skarsgård was announced as the new Pennywise, but he wasn’t the only actor competing for the role. Andy Muschietti took his place a few months later, and in 2016 it was revealed Poulter dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Three years later, Will Poulter was cast as Pennywise, but Fukunaga left the project weeks later. A film adaptation of IT had been development since 2010, with David Kajganich penning the script, and in 2012, Cary Fukunaga was brought in as director and co-writer along with Chase Palmer. ![]()
