In "It Chapter Two", Chastain will be seen essaying role of older Beverly Marsh a woman who was bullied at school and abused by her father as a teen.

"I loved the first film and really responded to the character of Beverly Marsh, played by Sophia Lillis," Chastain said.

"She is such a dynamic presence and, in many cases, is the most brave. She's seen a lot of darkness in her life and because of that, it creates a fearlessness in her," added the actress.

They face off against Pennywise one more time as the evil entity returns to terrorise the children of Derry, Maine. Warner Bros. Pictures will release the film in India on September 6 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

It also stars James McAvoy, Bill Hader, James Ransone, Andy Bean, Jay Ryan and Isaiah Mustafa. Jaeden Martell, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Chosen Jacobs and Jack Dylan Grazer.
