In IT Chapter Two, Bill (James McAvoy) and the rest of the Losers are called back to their hometown to once again face the villainous Pennywise (Bill Skarsgrd). According to Muschietti, King was worried that whenever he appears in an adaptation of one of his stories, it typically "bombed" at the box office. "There was improvisation in the scene," Muschietti recalled. "There's [also] something behind Stephen King in that scene that Stephen King fans will recognize," Muschietti plays coy.
