This Is How The Clown Pennywise Looks In HBO Max's 'IT' Series: 'Welcome To Derry'
The terrifying clown from Stephen King's stories has taken many forms over the years, and he continues to haunt audiences with each new portrayal.
Fans of horror series and films know that Pennywise always delivers nightmares. In the upcoming series It: Welcome to Derry, the demonic clown makes his return once again. Now, a first glimpse of his new appearance has surfaced, and it is unlikely to disappoint fans of the original.
Although trailers and promotional images have kept Pennywise carefully hidden so far, the mystery has been solved with the release of two new Movie Maniacs action figures. They clearly show that HBO Max is staying largely true to the iconic design.
The standard version of the figure depicts Pennywise almost identical to the films. There is also a ‘flashback’ variant, featuring a notably brighter costume and a somewhat loose-fitting headpiece. This detail fuels speculation about the role of this younger version of the clown.
It may suggest that Pennywise has yet to fully grow into his frightening form at this time. Another option is that the figure has interchangeable parts, allowing fans to create their variations.
Those familiar with the films know that Pennywise is a shapeshifter. This increases the chance that he will appear in the series not just as a clown but also in other horrifying forms.
The action figures are 15 centimeters tall and come with a decorative background, a display stand, art cards, and mysterious bonus items. For collectors, this is a delicious preview of what’s to come.
It: Welcome to Derry is created by Andy and Barbara Muschietti, together with Jason Fuchs. Andy also directs multiple episodes, including the first. The series serves as a prequel and explores the dark history of Derry, long before the events of Stephen King’s story unfold.
Alongside Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise, the cast includes Joshuah Odjick, Chad Rook, James Remar, and Madeleine Stowe. The series premieres in October, just in time to make the fall a bit scarier.
