It, and then again in 2019’s It Chapter Two.In a new interview with Esquire, Skarsgård admitted that he was nervous about taking over the mantle from Tim Curry, who previously portrayed the character in the 1990 mini-series.“When you are 26, you don’t feel young at all, but now, looking back at it, I was a kid,” he said. “It was fairly early on in my career to take on something that had so many eyeballs and expectations on it.”The actor then explained why he thought it was “mean” for the studio to share first-look images of his Pennywise before the film’s release, given his worries about fan expectations.“They did a thing that I felt was kind of mean.
I was so incredibly nervous to start this job, and then the internet is having so many hateful opinions on the weird, strange look of the thing.”Skarsgård was able to overcome his fears, however, ignoring claims that his Pennywise looked “so stupid”.“You can only make this performance to please yourself,” he said. “It unlocked something in me.
And it gave me the confidence that I can take on any challenge. At least, that’s how I feel when I accept these things.”Following on from that challenging role, Skarsgård is now set to appear as another iconic character in a remake of The Crow.
