The star’s next ventures only promise amazing challenges for him in the future. Thus, without further ado, let’s get into the top films and series that Finn Wolfhard has been a part of so far.
- It
Following the meteoric rise to fame enjoyed by Stranger Things, it was Wolfhard’s subsequent work that captured the attention of the general public. A group of children who name themselves the Loser’s Club are the protagonists of the supernatural horror film It, in which they battle an evil entity known as Pennywise, who takes the form of a clown. The children are wreaking havoc all over their town. As a result of its success, it received positive reviews and did well in the box office; now, it is widely considered to be among the very finest horror movies ever made. Wolfhard gave life to the noxious character Richie Tozier, and his portrayal, along with the rest of the cast’s, was hailed with appreciation from a variety of sources.
- It Chapter Two
It Chapter Two is the successor to It, a record-breaking horror film that was released in 2017 and has since become a classic. The sequel takes place 27 years after the horrific events of the first film and chronicles the members of the Losers Club as grownups as they come together for the final time in an effort to confront the resurrected clown Pennywise. Through the use of flashbacks, the connections between the protagonists are investigated, put to the test, and revealed to be in stark contrast to what they were like when they were younger versions of themselves. Wolfhard resumed his role as Richie Tozier, but this time he played a younger version of the character. Bill Hader portrayed the older version of the character. Even though It Chapter Two was not as well regarded as the first installment, the fact that it was nonetheless loved by a significant number of fans led to its box office success.
