IT Chapter 3: Release Date
It is unfortunate to say that there is no new information regarding the release date for IT Chapter 3 yet. The first two films were released with a two-year gap between them. However, it has been more than two years since the release of IT Chapter 2. Rumors are that production has not started for the third chapter yet. But don’t get upset; it’s not the end of the world! You never know when IT Chapter 3 may begin its production. But IT fans will have to wait a little longer.
IT Chapter 3: Plot
The plot or story of IT revolves around an ancient monster (you may also call it a ‘shapeshifter’) that takes on different forms to prey on children. The monster comes back every 27 years. It talks about a group of seven extremely bullied friends from Derry, Maine, who must face their fears and fight off the monster to protect the children of their town from Pennywise.
During both films, we can see Pennywise, the shape-shifting monster, often appear in the form of a bloodthirsty clown. Children, being naturally attracted to funny and colorful clowns, get easily lured by Pennywise and just face their deaths.
The original novel by Stephen King describes Pennywise as an alien and a male. But the films portray him as a demon who has supernatural powers. These powers enable him to make people believe that he is just a figment of their imagination.
