IT Chapter 3 - Official Movie Trailer 2021

At the top of Stephen King’s ground-breaking horror is his 1987 classic, IT, which has just seen a big screen resolution with IT: Chapter 2. September 6th saw the two-part saga come to a close for audiences as the Losers Club we met in 1988 resurfaces in 2016 to defeat the evil entity that haunted their very lives, an entity known as Pennywise The Dancing Clown. Overcoming their fears and traumas, the Losers finally defeat the demonic clown once and for all and are able to leave Derry, Maine behind for good. Shut and closed. Or is it?



Director Andy Muschietti has spoken at great lengths about how the story of the original novel is over and done with, resolved with the latest chapter and that there’s no real desire to mess with that conclusion to the Losers. However, something he’s been keen to add on in every single interview is intriguing. In an interview with IO9 back in August, Muschietti was quick to add on another aspect of the IT story that wasn’t delved into deeply within the film, something that could be a backdoor into something greater.

As stated by him: “Mythology is something that always has opportunities to explore. It has been on Earth for millions of years. He’s been in contact with humans for hundreds of years, every 27 years. So you can imagine the amount of material. It’s always exciting to think of eventually exploring this mythology, It’s very exciting. But, for now, there’s nothing on the table.”

Both Andy and Barbara Muschietti have been pretty straightforward on the fact that there’s no definite talks for an IT: Chapter 3, but his comments do leave some intriguing ideas on what there is left to explore. We can assume that Muschietti is talking about the extended Macroverse associated with the original story, along with the many supernatural and often quoted buzzword that might as well not mean anything anymore, Lovecraftian elements that make up the backstory of Pennywise in the original novel, something that neither adaptation has really set out to explore all too much.
