Director Andy Muschietti has unveiled the first look of Split-fame James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough in It Chapter 2 via his Instagram account. The picture features the actor riding a bike with a grim look on his face.

Apart from this, James McAvoy, who was recently seen in Glass, also has the X-men film, Dark Phoenix, in which he reprises his role as Professor X.
