The only thing my kids have ever been interested in seeing [involving me] is, I was in It 2. I was in the It movie and they've been to different sleepovers, and that's like a movie kids put on at sleepovers. So my kid did go, 'I saw you in It.' And I was like, 'Oh, what do you think?' She was like, 'First movie was better.' I was like, 'Okay.'

The Adult Losers Club Defeated Pennywise In It Chapter Two

The first It movie was released in 2017, and saw the seven of the Losers Club take on Pennywise the Clown, who is arguably the best Stephen King villain. The Losers Club defeated Pennywise in the first film, but since the shape-shifting evil entity returns to haunt Derry, Maine every 27 years, they always knew Pennywise would return. A star-studded cast of actors portrayed the adult version of the Losers Club's in It Chapter Two. In addition to Hader, the cast of It Chapter Two included the likes of Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy.

Many reviews for It Chapter Two note that the film prioritized trying to scare audience over developing interesting characters.

Many reviews for It Chapter Two note that the film prioritized trying to scare audience over developing interesting characters. Moviegoers were ultimately less invested in the adult version of the Losers Club as they battled against Pennywise.
