Read our privacy policy It Chapter Two star Jessica Chastain has claimed that the horror sequel used a record amount of fake blood during filming. Speaking at a Comic-Con panel for the new film in San Diego, the actor revealed that a total of “4,500 gallons” of fake blood was used on set. Chastain, who plays the only female member of the movie’s central gang of friends, The Losers Club, added that she spends a considerable amount of the third act totally drenched in blood: “I’m a glutton for punishment,” she said. Referencing another of Stephen King’s horror films, Chastain added: “Let’s make Carrie on steroids.” The movie also stars James McAvoy and Bill Hader, and follows The Losers Club some 27 years after the events of the first film, as they reunite as adults to take on It, the shapeshifting embodiment of evil.
