Part 2 hasnt been filmed yet. The first film can stand entirely alone. If this film bombs and we never get a sequel this first film will act as a complete story. The studio just wants to see how the first film performs before they start throwing down millions for a sequel. Keep in mind that in the book even tho the children and adult story is intercut you could split off the kids story and publish that as its own book and the adult part could be published as a sequel book. (Personally I wish it had been published that way because the cutring back and forth annoyed the **** out of me.) Thats pretty much what they are doing here. They took the book and made a complete film from the kids story and hope to make a sequel from the adult story. This isnt one big 4 hour film shot all at once and broken into Part 1 and Part 2 with a "To be continued" at the end of Part 1.
Part 2 is clearly going to happen though, this film is tracking incredibly high. I personally believe it could break records for the horror genre.

I love Adam Driver but couldn't pass for 40's like these characters need to be as adults.

Some terrible casting suggestions in this thread, though. People seem to be casting not with the younger actors in mind. Bill Hader, for example, looks nothing like Finn Wolfhard.
Then what are your suggestions?
New TV spot!!!! We see what looks like Henry's message from It to kill the Losers'!

What Art needs to understand is you can't have the whole package, actors that look exactly like the kids AND have enough pedigree to star in this.And no I don't believe unknowns can lead part 2.
I wouldn't expect to be seeing any major stars for a sequel. Maybe not unknowns, but certainly not Joseph Gordon Levitt.
He's trying to upstage Freddy Krueger.

Part 2 casting:
Bill- Joseph Gordon Levitt
Richie- Bill Hader (i know everyone else says Hader, but i can't think of a better person)
Ben- Bradley Cooper
Mike- Jeffery Wright
Bev- Alicia Witt
Stan- Ross Marquand
Eddie- Johnny Galecki
Henry- Kenny Johnson
