It would be nice to see some of the original IT cast return to play their roles. In particular Seth Green as Richie Tozier and Emily Perkins as Beverly Marsh. I think Jared Padalecki would be good for Bill Denbrough, and Michael Cudlitz would make a good Ben Hanscom. I haven't got anyone in mind for the rest of the Losers club, but I've seen some great suggestions on here.

for me it's a no to the original cast, unless we're talking cameos. i like jared in supernatural, but i think he falls apart in movies a bit. welcome.

That's fair enough, I remember when I watched the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th, Jared was in that one too. I thought he did good in that film, but he's much better in Supernatural. As for the others, it would be nice to see them make some sort of appearance in IT part 2, even if it were just cameos that would be good.

There are some great suggestions in this thread.

I would love to see JASON BATEMAN as Bill. Such an underrated actor. I think he would completely absorb that role.

I'm for a cast of unknowns, or at least relatively unknown actors. Don't need, nor should they, blow tons of cash on a ensemble of Hollywood heavies chewing up the screen and taking focus off the horror...the horror...

Oceans Eleven this ain't, kiddies.

I agree with you, but given the success I have a feeling we will get a few relatively known names on part two.

The issue with the adult casting is the actors have to be pushing 40, so that narrows down the list quite a bit. Also, I'm thinking you want to cast someone who feasibly resembles the child actors.

Off the top of my head though:

James McAvoy - Bill Denbrough

Ben Hanscom - Chris Pratt

Jessica Chastain - Beverly Marsh

Orlando Jones/Chiwetel Ejiofor - Mike Hanlon

Seth Green (wouldn't it be awesome if they really did that!) - Ritchie Tozier

Michael Stuhlbarg - Stan Uris

Tobey Maguire - Eddie Kaspbrak (there was someone else I had in mind, but can't think of the actor's name right now)

Hi everyone! i'm new here. So as introduction, here's my ideal cast for the chapter 2. They're on the age rank and quite similars to their younger versions.. it-growncast.jpg
I think Leonardo Dicaprio would be the most similar to Bill, but that would never happen. I would choose Jason Bateman for Richie but the ressemblance isn't good enough in my opinion. And for Mike, Chadwick Boseman is a nice choice too, but i think mike should look a little bit older, being the one who stayed in Derry.

So.. what do you think?

These are great choices. Nice. I think I'd choose Amy Adams, though, for Beverly.

Do you think they already have the cast and just hasnt been revealed? Or they waited for the box office results to hire a bigger cast? ("A" list actors i mean)

I don't think the second movie was officially confirmed until after the first one was a success...I would guess that they have some actors in mind though.

It's probably inevitable that the success of the first movie is going to increase the budget of the second movie, but I hope they don't get a bunch of A-list actors just for the sake of having them. The actors who played the kids were basically perfectly cast and I hope the adults are the same. The last thing I want is to see the second movie and be acutely aware of watching so-and-so on the screen and not feeling like it's really the character from the book come to life.
