‘IT: Chapter Two’ Will Feature One Of The Book’s Most Infamous Scenes

IT Chapter Two

IT: Chapter Two screenwriter Gary Dauberman confirmed that the film will feature the infamous Adrian Mellon scene.

The trailer for IT: Chapter Two debuted earlier this week and featured some crazy footage featuring plenty of thrills with the new adult Losers Club. IT: Chapter Two isn’t just a sequel to 2017’s IT, the film is also an adaptation of the second half of Stephen King’s original book. One of the most infamous moments in the book IT features a character named Adrian Mellon. Adrian is a gay character who, after falling victim to an assault from homophobic locals, is thrown over a bridge and eaten my Pennywise.

Last year, Xavier Dolan joined the cast of IT: Chapter Two as Adrian Mellon, though he didn’t appear in the trailer for the movie. However, in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, IT: Chapter Two screenwriter Gary Dauberman did confirm that the iconic moment will appear in the movie.

“It is an iconic scene in the book and one we wanted to include in the movie.”

Dauberman then revealed when during IT: Chapter Two fans can expect to see the scene.

“It is the first attack in present-day Derry and sets the stage for what Derry has become. It is the influence of Pennywise even while he is hibernating, and it’s pure evil what happens to Adrian. These bullies working through Pennywise was important for us to show.”

Although Adrian Mellon doesn’t appear in the trailer for IT: Chapter Two, fans may notice a moment in the trailer that is a reference to the scene. One of the shots in the trailer features a flurry of red balloons emerging from a bridge, near a carnival. Fans of the book may notice that this is the sight that Adrian’s boyfriend Don sees after the character’s death.

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’

Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it’s a pretty sad day.

Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he’s no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.

Three years have quickly sped by and we’re officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and now everyone’s attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that’s around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.

In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.

Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he’s one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes’ arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he’d love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.

Ryan Gosling

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I’ve always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he’s done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio’s best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c’mon, the guy’s look just screams Bruce Wayne.

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn’t deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He’s charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he’s young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.

Richard Madden

Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
