As is well known, the previous two It films did not tell the life story of Pennywise, so that it aroused the high curiosity of the loyal audience.

With the arrival of Welcome to Derry, Warner Bros. hopes that the audience’s curiosity about Pennywise can be answered, because this prequel promises a very solid storyline and it’s a shame if you just miss it.
