Many theorize shockingly and gruesome character deaths, leading to only a few survivors in a prior connection to the eventual events surrounding the original IT movies.  Others expect flashbacks that combine Derry's dark legacy with the initial creation of Pennywise, potentially intertwining storylines from previous Stephen King works too.
