We all know It, and we all know Welcome to Derry. All the work that the Argentinian Andy Muschietti has done with the franchise will be forever etched in the memory of future generations, and that's why today, after a long break, I'm returning with a new version of this story. This time, the cast I'm presenting is a hypothetical scenario: what would have happened if the Welcome to Derry series had been a prequel to my version of It, released a decade before the one directed by Muschietti? Unlike the other cast, here the timeline remains the same, with 27 years of gaps, and I will respect the chronology of the films, only a decade earlier. That is, the Losers defeated It in 2014, their first encounter would be in 1987, placing this version of Welcome to Derry in 1960.
