Bill Hader Discusses Richie Tozier’s Secret in ‘It Chapter Two’

Was Richie’s sexuality something you discussed with Andy Muschietti before filming started?

Andy and I talked about how overt we should make it, and I said if it’s not overt, then why is he in the movie? You can’t do a half measure on it. You’ve got to go the full way or don’t even allude to it. Let’s not be coy. Let’s just say what it is.

Did knowing this detail about him affect how you played the character?

It just gave me more to play. We did a lot of different versions of Eddie’s death scene. We did one where he’s clearly dead, and I’m refusing to recognize it. And some where I was very tender with him, where I’m caressing his face — this is the person I love, and it wasn’t just lust. It’s truly love.

[In other scenes] I was playing off James, but knowing on some level that I loved him. It’s something [Richie] can’t connect to, so he has to hate that thing. It’s very adolescent. “I have a crush on you, but I don’t want to tell you that, so I’m going to push you away. But man, if he made the first move, that’d be the best thing ever.

***MAJOR INFINITY TRAIN SPOILERS BELOW***

So Hazel found out:

that Tuba has been murdered,

that her body can turn part turtle,

what death is,

and that she has to continue to be around her mother figure's murderer who could also murder her at any moment if he finds out that she's a denizen/null

ALL IN THE SPAN OF LIKE 10 MINUTES.

AND SHE'S SIX YEARS OLD.

AND THEN THE NEXT DAY HER REPLACEMENT MOTHER FIGURE ANGRILY TURNS ON HER.

I have never started a physical fight but if I were there I would have thrown hands with these people and protected her with my LIFE.

Everyone's redeemable but holy shit do they need to make some major changes and do some serious apologizing to Hazel.

What if Richie carved R + E because he realized he was starting to forget? Forget about last summer, about his friends, about his trauma, about It.

About Eddie.

Maybe he somehow understood what was going to happen, that he was about to lose his memories, and found a desperate way to make sure that his feelings wouldn’t disappear forever.

He didn’t want to let Eddie go.

(It: Chapter 2 | Spoiler)

I went to watch It Chapter 2 yesterday and that first scene.. Shit you guys, I was considering if I should leave the cinema. It hurt to watch that and my heart was beating so hard. It took me a couple minutes to calm down after that. I had no problem with the rest of the movie but that scene.. Fuck.

It also made me realize that there really are still homophobic people out there who would do something like that. And that's really scary.
