Bill Skarsgård will dominate this year with three high-profile releases, but if you’re seeking other films that he stars in, look no further than these gems.
Bill Skarsgård is more than just a very handsome face. In fact, he is among his generation’s most interesting and arresting performers, a modern scream king known for his tendency toward playing intriguing and elusive characters in intense and often dark films. This year, Skarsgård is set to dominate with three high-profile releases — Boy Kills World this April, The Crow in August, and Robert Eggers’ highly awaited horror film Nosferatu in December.
If the wait is too unbearable for you and you want to see more of the talented actor’s work, I suggest you check out the 2022 miniseries Clark, one of Netflix’s best miniseries, featuring Skarsgård’s best and most charming performance to date. However, if you’re more into movies, then be sure to check out these five films where Skarsgård showcases his mesmerizing talent and versatility.5. It (2017)
Most people who hear the name “Bill Skarsgård” will probably instantly think of Andy Muschietti’s It duology. The actor stars as the iconic cinematic villain Pennywise, the Dancing Clown, in Muschietti’s horror movies about a shape-shifting and evil creature haunting the children of the forgotten town of Derry in Mayne.
Buried under layers of mak-up, sporting menacing, enlarged teeth and a prominent head, Skarsgård is utterly unrecognizable as the evil clown. The role was first popularized by the legendary Tim Curry, but Skarsgård makes it his own, delivering arguably the ultimate version of Pennywise, the best and most interesting creature in Stephen King’s roster. The first It movie is by far the best, featuring Skarsgård at his most menacing and mesmerizing and providing more than a few chills for fans of blood-curdling horror.
It is available to rent or purchase on Amazon and other digital vendors.4. Nine Days (2020)
Edson Oda’s 2022 fantasy drama Nine Days is a severely underrated film that is as profound as it’s devastating.
