Hollywood actor James Ransone of 'The Wire and Sinister' fame has been roped
in to play adult Eddie Kaspbrak in the highly anticipated horror thriller 'It:
Chapter 2'.
Fans from across the globe have taken to Twitter to give their
approval to the casting coup.
A fan wrote, "Said a while ago that this would
be perfect casting, so I'm overjoyed that it's actually happening! (I really
should have put a bet on though, @ms_mjolnir ??) #JamesRansone #ITMovie".
Another fan shared a meme and wrote, "Me after learning who will play Eddie
and Stan in IT Ch. 2..???? #ITch.2 #JamesRansone #andybean".
One fan
tweeted, "James Ransone was incredible in Sinister 2. I will always remember his
performance. A perfectly eccentric weirdo, glad to see him officially casted as
Eddie".
"OH MY GOD THIS IS TOO PERFECT", read one tweet.
A tweet
from a verified account read, "James Ransone as Eddie in IT: CHAPTER TWO is such
perfect casting that I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself".
One post
read, "Dude, I am so in for the It sequel just to see Bill Hader and James
Ransone riff off each other for two hours. The story is a bonus".
The
film will be a sequel to the 2017 hit horror drama 'It'.
The flick will take the story further where the evil
clown Pennywise returns 27 years later to torment the grown-up members of the
Losers' Club.
Apart from Ransone, the film will also star Jessica Chastain,
Bill Skarsgard, and James McAvoy in pivotal roles.
The film will be directed
by Andres Muschietti from the original flick.
It is slated to hit the
theaters on September 06, 2019.
