Dream Casting The Losers Club From 'It' As Adults For The Sequel

7. Beverly Marsh: Elisha Cuthbert

Speaking of Happy Endings, Adam Pally shouldn’t be the only alum of that show in It: Part II. For those who watched the beloved but cancelled ABC comedy, there’s another actor from the series that has enormous range, and she’d be perfect for Beverly Marsh (originally played by Sophia Lillis); Elisha Cuthbert.

Physically gorgeous and intellectually brilliant, Cuthbert could definitely play both of those traits of Beverly’s while providing a good dose of humour to the tricky role. The older Beverly is a survivor of abuse and an incredibly complex woman, and though most people see her for her looks, there’s no doubt that she can hold her own against the evil clowns of the world. Cuthbert is the perfect woman to bring to life that mix of beautiful and tough, that attitude of 'don’t screw with me or you might not survive.'

As an added bonus, Cuthbert’s chemistry with Adam Pally on Happy Endings was incredible, and the two play very well together in all sorts of situations. Considering the romantic sub-plot between Richie and Beverly, it would be a very exciting thing to see these two actors inhabit these two characters for It: Part II.
