It exceeded expectations at the box office last year so it was no great surprise when Warner Bros. quickly started moving forward with a sequel and assembled an A-List cast to play adult versions of the Loser's Club. The big gets were Jessica Chastain as Beverley and her X-Men: Dark Phoenix co-star James McAvoy as Bill. Now, the latter has shared a photo from the first day of production on Chapter 2.

As you can see, this doesn't really reveal much but we now that shooting is underway and that could signal something being shown from the sequel at Comic-Con next month. After all, a cast photo of the Loser's would be very interesting and pretty much anything from Pennywise will give us all nightmares.

Joining him and Chastain in It: Chapter 2 are Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, Jay Ryan as Ben, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, James Ransone as Eddie, and Andy Bean as Stanley Uris. There's currently no word on other casting additions but the focus will more than likely remain on these characters and Bill Skarsgard's monstrous clown.

Day 1 on IT 2. Glad you got the memo guys. #passthecheeseplease #derryordairy

Can’t wait. Love the casting (even though I’m still kinda disappointed Chiwetel Ejiofor wasn’t cast as Mike).

You know what? I'm pumped for this movie.

Loved the first part, Bill Skarsgard can do no wrong in my eyes due to his portrayal of Pennywise.

A little disappointed I don't know a lot of the cast but McAvoy is one of my favorite actors after Split.

This cast is coming together fairly nicely. I'm pretty psyched for this follow up.

Put Ben Affleck in it so he won't go in and ruin Wonder Woman.
