9 Post-Credits Scenes That Were Axed From Movies

7. It: Chapter One

Even though it's not the type of movie that needs an extra scene after the credits, It: Chapter One director Andy Muschietti originally had an idea to include one, a tease that would've led directly into recent sequel It: Chapter 2.

In a chat with The Huffington Post, Muschietti revealed that this scene would've focused on Beverly Marsh, played by Sophia Lillis in the first film, and Jessica Chastain in the second. The camera would've started on an iPhone ringing, which would then have been grabbed by adult Beverly, before a cut to black. However, Chastain's schedule didn't allow for the time to shoot the scene.

Interestingly, Muschietti's intention to feature this tag means that Chastain was cast in the role long before her involvement was officially announced in early 2018. Sure, it was heavily rumoured even before Chapter One opened, but this tells us that the actress was always Muschietti's primary choice for the role.
