The cast of It on Conan

Conan starts its annual visit to Comic-Con on Wednesday July 17. To kick off ConanCon, the cast of It: Chapter 2 will be interviewed by Conan O’Brien.

It will be the first of three interviews that O’Brien will do with a full cast. He will meet with Kristen Bell and the rest of the Veronica Mars cast on Thursday and then sit with Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevinge of the television series Carnival Row.

But with the hype surrounding It: Chapter 2, his first interview will be the one to watch. Expected to appear is James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone,  and Andy Bean.

That lineup would be a pretty could couple of months for a late night show but Conan will have them all on one night. O’Brien is an expert at managing cast interviews at this point. He’s done it with Suicide Squad, Game of Thrones, and Breaking Bad to name a few.

It also helps that actors like McAvoy, Chastain, and Hader are hugely popular, extremely talented, and experienced late night guests. Expect O’Brien to ask about their reaction to It and what it was like to play the adult versions of the children featured in that movie.
