The adaptation of Stephen King’s IT had the world against it. Okay, that’s definitely an exaggeration, but given how beloved the novel is — and how much fans view that original 1990 miniseries with nostalgia googles — there was a lot to live up to. Plus, with the book clocking in at well over 1,000 pages, they certainly had their work cut out for them.

Luckily, director Andy Muschietti and co. had the right idea. Rather than try to squeeze everything into a three-hour film, he opted to just follow one branch of narrative, where the members of the Losers Club are just kids and first confronted Pennywise the Clown, who has been terrorizing the citizens of Derry for decades.

At the tail-end of that first film, some viewers were shocked when the title card for “IT: Chapter One” popped up, basically solidifying their desire to make a second chapter. Now, the official Twitter account has released a first poster for the film.

So what do we think? I mean, it’s a thing. I’m not going to pretend like it’s groundbreaking, as it just utilizes the logo from that first film and adds a “Chapter Two” at the bottom. But in case we forgot…there it is, I get.

Does this get you any more excited for the impending sequel? Let us know down below!
