The film also stars James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain in lead roles, playing some of the adult Losers Club, a group of friends tormented by harrowing visitations from Pennywise.

Chastain and McAvoy posed in front of a mock fun house on the red carpet, fashioned with the face of the clown.

Director of It Andres Muschietti was also present at the venue near Waterloo to launch the film in Europe.
