Easter Eggs You Missed In It: Chapter Two

It: Chapter 2 has finally pranced into theaters, bringing the long, bloody saga of the Losers Club to a close. But we're not leaving the circus just yet. With a nearly three-hour runtime and a thousand page book to reference, there were bound to be plenty of Easter eggs in It: Chapter 2. Here are the ones you might have missed.

It: Chapter 2 had a lot of catching up to do. While the first film focused exclusively on the kids, this one had the dual job of both introducing the adult versions of the Losers and making you believe that they really could be those children all grown up.

When we're introduced to adult Ben Hanscom, we see a board room with a bunch of men arguing over the model of a building. After the camera slides over the room, it finally focuses on one man. It's Ben! Except...it's not. Ben, as portrayed by Jay Ryan, is on a Skype call with everybody in that room. But it's a double fake-out, because that first guy was Ben all grown up. Confused? See, that actor was Brandon Crane, who played Ben Hanscom in the 1990 miniseries. In a story all about childhood, loss of childhood, and facing the fears of your childhood, giving an actor the chance to play both a child and an adult in an adaptation of It is basically poetry.
