As Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter 2 continues to flesh out its core cast, the sequel has added another name to its adult Losers Club.

Courtesy of Deadline, Mary Kills People’s Jay Ryan has been brought in to play the older version of Ben Hanscom; the character played by Jeremy Ray Taylor in last year’s IT.

Ryan joins a cast that includes Jessica Chastain as Beverly Marsh, James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough, Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Andy Bean as Stanley Uris.

To be set 27 years after the events of IT, the follow-up will see the adult Losers Club returning home to Derry to tackle Pennywise for one final time.

IT: Chapter 2 is currently set for a September 2019 release.
