The adaptation of Stephen King’s novel was a huge box office success upon its release last month, and Chapter 2 should be along in 2019.
Speaking to IGN, Skarsgard said that the sequel will simply follow more adult characters, and get more into the “psychological aspects of horror”.
Long story short, it’ll be scarier than ever.
“The first movie worked so well at what it is trying to do, I think, and ultimately that is the kids’ story, and you follow these kids and you sort of fall in love with these kids,” he said.
“And the second one will be the adult story.”
He elaborated: “I think the right way to do it is to make that movie actively different.
“I think there might be worth exploring sort of the psychological aspects of horror, but also maybe the sort of cosmological existence of this being [Pennywise].
“What is he, and where does he come from?”
Andy Muschietti directed the smash hit horror, which defied all expectations upon its release in September.
The sequel has already been confirmed for launch on September 6, 2019.
