Now that we’ve had IT: Part One<\/em><\/strong>, the big question is: who’ll be playing the grown-up versions of the Losers’ Club in the sequel?<\/p>\n

Jessica Chastain is one of the biggest “no-brainers” when it comes to our wishlist. She’s awesome, she’s worked with the Muschiettis before on Mama<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0and she’s got red hair (admittedly, the last part is the same criterion that saw Bryan Cranston topping every Lex Luthor wishlist during his shaved-head Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong> years). She was also star Sophia Lillis’ pick, and surely that’s got to count for a lot.<\/p>\n

Now, Screen Rant<\/a> has asked the star of Zero Dark Thirty<\/em><\/strong> and The Martian<\/em> <\/strong>if she’s game while talking to her and Idris Elba about their new film Molly’s Game<\/em><\/strong>, and Chastain was impressively cagey in response.<\/p>\n

“Well, I love Andy and Barbara,” she said. “I worked with them on Andy\u2019s directorial debut, you know, his film, Mama<\/em><\/strong>. His first film. And you know, Barbara is one of my best friends so\u2026We\u2019ll see.\u00a0Listen, of course, I want to work\u2026 they\u2019re my friends. They\u2019re like my family. Anything that they\u2019re doing I want to be a part of, so I hope we can make it happen.”<\/p>\n

Now, this could be read as “I don’t want to say no because they’re my friends” or it could be read as “We’re trying to make it happen but I can’t say anything at the moment.” We hope it’s the latter.<\/p>\n

Also on our wishlist is Creep<\/em><\/strong>‘s Mark Duplass, who has definitely noticed that some fans are rooting for him.<\/p>\n
