When I want to ask who the actors are in a movie,

do I say "Who's in it?"
or "Who're in it?"

My hunch is "Who're in it" to be grammatically correct.
But I think "Who's in it" sounds more natural...

Thanks!

Most people would say, "Who's in it?" The answer could be one or more people -- nearly all movies have more than one -- but the question is in the singular.

Probably someone can tell us why.
