When it comes to the age-old debate of Randall Flagg versus Pennywise, TheStand star Alexander Skarsgård is pretty confident in who'd win. 'I don't wanna sound cocky, but probably Flagg. I mean, he's kind of the devil in a way... He's pretty powerful.'
Star Alexander Skarsgård weighs in on the Randall Flagg versus Pennywise argument, believing The Stand villain would beat the It evil clown. Stephen King's 1978 novel is set in a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a deadly pandemic of weaponized influenza as those who have survived begin gathering in groups around the country, each standing on opposing sides of good and evil.
Flagg was first brought to life on screen in the 1994 miniseries adaptation of The Stand played by Jamey Sheridan, which was nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards and won two for Outstanding Makeup and Sound Mixing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special. The superhuman villain would return to the screen in 2017 with the long-gestating film adaptation of The Dark Tower portrayed by Matthew McConaughey, which infamously underperformed at the box office and was slaughtered by critics.
"I don't wanna sound cocky, but probably Flagg. I mean, he's kind of the devil in a way... He's pretty powerful." After initially serving as a general demonic figure in The Stand, Flagg would later return with King's The Dark Tower series of novels as an evil wizard fighting to keep gunslinger Roland Deschain from reaching it in an effort to claim it for himself and become a god.
Given Alexander Skarsgård embodied the role of Randall Flagg for a multi-episode version of The Stand over a compressed film adaptation of King's novel, it's understandable he would believe his villain to beat Pennywise. Additionally, given the source novel sees Flagg survive the nuclear explosion intended to kill him, only coming away with memory loss, while the Losers Club were able to use their physical might to defeat Pennywise in the It novel.
