Welcome to dairy. We'll serve Andy Muschietti who's who's responsible for the first two films welcome to dairy serves as a prequel that He's returning to direct multiple episodes for the upcoming series is what I was trying to say Including the pilot and cold show runner Jason Fuchs is writing the teleplay for the first episode of the series Now it's been long speculated if Bill Skarsgard will return to play Pennywise or not And now we have an idea Recently in an interview with Jason's or with Jake's takes Bill Skarsgard shared his shared his thoughts on the upcoming series And whether he would be back or not. This is in again a recent interview from Jake's takes I'll leave a link to it in the description He was being interviewed. I think primarily about his role in John Wick 4 But Jake was able to ask Bill about the upcoming it prequel series Welcome to dairy and what it would take for him to return as Pennywise And if not what advice he had to the next person to tackle the character Skarsgard said, um, yeah Yeah, we'll see what they come up with and what they do with it as of now I'm not currently involved in it and if someone else gets to do it My advice to them would just be to make it your own and have fun with it Now that's the gist of what he said So I know a lot of people listening to this seeing the clip that I shared on Twitter Seeing it on any other platform that you may have come across this This is like a gut wrench to you Especially if you're someone who already went through this last year with the bad news of What happened with Jonathan Breck in that whole scenario with the much much Lee or overly Accurately, I would say hated Jeepers creepers for and how he did not return as the creeper now I'm starting to see this kind of same sentiment Sprayer up over Bill Skarsgard not being back as Pennywise in the upcoming welcome to dairy series my thoughts on that are Well, one part of me thinks that his energy is Being done in a way to hold it a secret until they actually announce it But another part of me wants to be mindful of the fact that well He also probably doesn't have a reason to lie unless again It's being kept secret until they announce it officially. Some people think that he won't be back I'm inclined to say that I believe him as of now. He's not currently involved But that doesn't of course mean things can't change Maybe he just has yet to sign the dotted line to confirm his return, but he's actually in negotiations with them Maybe that's what's happening. Maybe he's not returning at all. My thoughts are this This is the same type of energy I recall seeing when Tim Curry was being replaced by Bill Skarsgard himself and then Bill Skarsgard once everybody saw the Makeup saw how he portrayed Pennywise fell in love with what he brought to the table in it and it chapter 2 So if somebody else is gonna be donning the makeup, I am open to it in all honesty. I'm open to it I just think that what it comes down to is having good makeup and making sure that somebody can indeed make it their own like he is suggesting and Try to not be too much like Skarsgard to be too much like Tim Curry just be your own unique take on the character A part of me does think he'll be back though a part of me thinks he'll be back But I am gonna say that as of now I'm gonna believe him in what he's saying. He's not involved as of now and He most likely will not return it's sad, but it's not it's not the most shocking thing The longer we it went on without us knowing about it the more I was preparing for something like this But you guys can let me know down in the comment section below what you think about all of this Are you happy Bill Skarsgard is not potentially returning? Do you think he might be trying to just keep it a secret or do you think that he is a hundred percent not going to be back At all or do you just think again like I mentioned he potentially just has not signed the dotted line to confirm all the deals They need to be in place But again, let me know down in the comment section below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification In your video in the description. I'll have links on social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can mention me there of course Any movies news or reviews let me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys, I will see you in the next video
