Deadlinereports that Dolan ( I Killed My Mother , Tom at the Farm ) and Beinbrink ( Queen of the South ) are playing Adrian Mellon and Tom Rogan , respectively , in theITsequel . In King ’s original book , Mellon is a gay military man who is assaulted by three men at Derry ’s one-year carnival and thrown over the Kissing Bridge , only for Pennywise to emerge and mow down him . Rogan , on the other mitt , is the abusive fellow whom Beverly Marsh ( Chastain ) has been seeing when the story catch up with her as an grownup .
By the sound of it , Adrian Mellon ’s murder will serve as the event that setsIT : Chapter 2 ’s larger patch in motion . In King ’s Scripture , the police force of Derry ( spur on by Pennywise ’s evil , which continue to taint the townsfolk ) refuse to inquire Mellon ’s death further and write it off as a freak accident rather than a hatred - criminal offence , even after Mellon ’s assailants confess to learn Pennywise at the scene of the crime . This leads to Mike Hanlon ( Mustafa ) , who is the only Loser still living in Derry after all these years , agnize the truth and contacting his previous supporter , so that they may come together again and defeat Pennywise once and for all .
Between homophobia , domesticated abuse , and lingering harm from childhood , IT : Chapter 2will be even more vivid and mature than the firstIT , in terms of subject thing alone . That ’s also a meet reflexion of the new emergence the Losers will be make do with as adults in the film , and suggests theITsequel wo n’t be shy off from the darkest aspects of King ’s source fabric in general . For those same reasons , there ’s a sizeable chanceIT : Chapter 2will prove to be an even more powerful horror movie parable about trauma and prejudice than its predecessor was .
