Despite the fact that It: Chapter 2 is released on September 6th, we still haven't seen any footage from the highly anticipated sequel. Seeing as the first instalment was such a massive hit, though, Warner Bros. and New Line are no doubt confident in its chances of success, and a first look at James McAvoy as the adult version of Bill Denbrough has now been revealed.

Jaeden Lieberher played the character in the first movie and he, along with the rest of the child actors, are expected to return for flashbacks. The focus will primarily be on their adult counterparts, however, as they return to Derry and attempt to stop Pennywise the Clown once and for all.

Based on the novel by Stephen King, It: Chapter 2 will be directed by Andy Muschietti and also stars Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Chastain, Jay Ryan, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, James Ransone, Andy Bean, Teach Grant, Jess Weixler, Will Beinbrink, Xavier Dolan, Sophia Lillis, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Finn Wolfhard, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff and Nicholas Hamilton.

What do you guys think about this first look at the Dark Phoenix star as Stuttering Bill?

Chapter One was excellent. Chapter Two will follow suit, I am more than fairly certain.

(Bill Hader is perfect casting.)
