The cast keeps filling out for the upcoming Francis Lawrence-directed prequel film “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping”.
Oscar-nominated actor Ralph Fiennes has been cast to play Panem’s ruthless dictator President Snow in the film – taking on a part previously played by Donald Sutherland in the original films and Tom Blyth in the previous prequel.
Producer Nina Jacobson says in a statement: “We wanted to honor Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation’s greatest actors play President Snow 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena. Working with Ralph has been on my bucket list since he traumatized me for life in Schindler’s List. It’s genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games.”
The cast for the film has filled out in the last couple of days and now consists of Joseph Zada in the lead role of the younger Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson’s role in the originals). Jesse Plemons will play the younger Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman’s role in the originals), and Whitney Peak will play Haymitch’s girlfriend Lenore Dove Baird.
Also onboard are Kelvin Harrison Jr. as a younger Beetee (Jeffrey Wright’s role in the originals, Maya Hawke as Wiress, Lili Taylor as Mags, and Glenn Close in an unspecified role.
Billy Ray writes the script for “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” which will be released in cinemas on November 20th 2026.
