One of the young members of It: Chapter 1's Losers' Club is going to be very happy about the sequel's latest casting news.

It: Chapter 2 will be told in two separate time periods, as the teenage Losers' Club story continues in the timeline from the first film in addition to flashing forward to their adult years as well.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Hader is indeed in final talks to play Richie in director Andy Muschietti's terrifying sequel. Also in talks for Chapter 2 is X-Men star James McAvoy.

If the deal is reached, McAvoy would be the adult version of Losers' Club leader Bill Denbrough. That's not exactly the casting that young Bill actor Jaeden Lieberher was hoping for.

Jaeden's dream casting for the role was Ewan McGregor, with the actor admitting to Variety: "I don't want to offend him or anything, but he might be too old.

"I love Ewan McGregor, and I think he's a great actor. I think he could play Bill very well."

Still, James McAvoy is a pretty decent consolation prize. It was previously reported that Jessica Chastain is in talks to play the older Beverly Marsh.

It: Chapter Two will begin production this summer, ahead of its cinema release in September 2019. It: Chapter 1 is out now on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and digital download.
