‘He's a contradiction!' Ben Wangs teases his Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping role
Ben Wang is 'really excited' to play Wyatt Callow in 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping'. The 25-year-old actor has been cast as the District 12 Tribute in the upcoming fantasy blockbuster, and has now teased how the character's duality will factor into the movie's story. When asked what aspects of Wyatt he was excited to explore, the 'Karate Kid: Legends' star said: 'Oh, there's so many. What really excited me about that character in the first place [is] he's not what he seems. 'I think that's part of the point of his character. He's seen by his community as one thing, but he's another thing underneath, and he's a contradiction. 'He's a logician, but he's got a really big heart, right? He's supposed to be cold and calculating, but he's actually the person who does the most illogical and selfless thing.' 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' will adapt Suzanne Collins' 2025 novel of the same name, and is the second instalment of the author's 'Hunger Games' prequel trilogy. In the book - which is set 24 years before 'The Hunger Games' on Panem - Wyatt is a Tribute from District 12, and is described as a 'compulsive oddsmaker' with a keen aptitude for arithmetic and observation, skills he leverages to assess fellow tributes and navigate the Games strategically. His analytical nature and reserved demeanour position him as a complex figure whose actions significantly influence the dynamics within the arena. Wang's Wyatt will appear alongside Joseph Zada's Haymitch Abernathy - as previously played by Woody Harrelson in the original 'Hunger Games' movies - while Whitney Peak portrays the protagonist's girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird. Meanwhile, Maya Hawke will play Wiress - the former Hunger Games champion who now serves as a mentor for those in District 12 - while Mckenna Grace has landed the highly sought-after role of District 12 Tribute Maysilee Donner. Kieran Culkin, Jesse Plemons and Kelvin Harrison Jr. have also signed on to appear in 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping', and will play Caesar Flickerman, Plutarch Heavensbee and Beetee, respectively. The most recent actor to be added to the cast of 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' is Ralph Fiennes, who will portray President Coriolanus Snow - the role previously held by the late Donald Sutherland in the original 'Hunger Games' films and Tom Blyth in the 2023 prequel 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes'. In a statement, producer Nina Jacobson said: 'We wanted to honour 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 traumatised me for life in 'Schindler's List'. It's genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games.' 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' - which will be directed by Francis Lawrence - is slated to hit screens in November 2026.

Revisiting a victor
Fans of The Hunger Games, the odds are generously in your favour. After showing us the conniving boy that became the vicious President Snow, the beloved dystopian film franchise is gearing up for another prequel - this one set some years after The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Announced long before the 2025 release of its source material, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will serve as the film adaptation for Suzanne Collins' novel of the same name. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the book was first announced in June last year, which was shortly followed by news on the screen adaptation. Slated for a November 20, 2026 release, the film will be the latest in a franchise that has brought all preceding novels to the big screen. Similar to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Sunrise on the Reaping follows the youth of a character that the fans are familiar with, except this one is adored for aiding the protagonists as their Capitol-assigned mentor in the original books and films. Now, Haymitch Abernathy - tribute, friend, and rebel - will tell his own story. District 12 lineup Sunrise on the Reaping follows the 50th year of the annual Hunger Games, also known as the second Quarter Quell. In the Capitol's celebration of another 15-year lap, the Games introduce a fresh twist by doubling up on the usual 12 tributes that fight to the death each year. This time around, two girls and two boys are reaped from each district, adding up to a total of 42 teenagers forced to endure the Capitol's cruel punishment. Unbeknownst to young Haymitch, his dictated participation is only the first step towards a long life of misfortune. Leading a promising cast that appeases fans with every update, Joseph Zada will bring Haymitch to life on the big screen, along with Whitney Peak who will portray Haymitch's girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird. Zada takes the torch from Woody Harrelson, who played the fan-favourite District 12 victor in the original quartet of films. Aside from Zada and Peak, others actors representing District 12 include Ben Wang who plays Wyatt Callow, the second male tribute reaped from District 12, along with Mckenna Grace and Molly McCann who play the female tributes Maysilee Donner and Louella McCoy respectively. Additionally, Iona Bell will portray Lou Lou, the Capitol's chilling replacement for Louella. Familiar names The official Instagram account for The Hunger Games is announcing all cast members steadily. With a post dedicated to a character each, the videos show text from the novel disappearing until only the character's name remains. The page then burns to reveal the actor behind the respective character, prompting a flood of reactions to each cast member in the comments. Portraying the tributes' band of allies are Kelvin Harrison Jr, Maya Hawke, and Lili Taylor, who play Beetee Latier, Wiress, and Mags Flanagan. Having previously appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the characters were formerly played by Jeffrey Wright, Amanda Plummer, and Lynn Cohen respectively. Other familiar characters to be reintroduced in Sunrise on the Reaping are double agent Plutarch Heavensbee, President Coriolanus Snow, future Capitol escort Effie Trinket, and interviewer Caesar Flickerman. Formerly portrayed by Elizabeth Banks in the films centered around Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, a younger version of the elaborately dressed Effie will be played by Maleficent star Elle Fanning. Meanwhile, Black Mirror star Jesse Plemons is set to play Plutarch, the Capitol insider who aids the district rebels in the future story. The role was originally portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. President Snow, who holds the record for appearing in every Hunger Games novel and film, will be brought to life this time by Conclave star Ralph Fiennes. The evil dictator was last seen as the protagonist of his own story in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and was played by Tom Blyth, though the late Donald Sutherland famously portrayed him in his prime in the first four films. The latest addition to the cast is Succession star Kieran Culkin, who will borrow the role of Caesar - the Capitol host who sits down with every tribute before the Games - from Stanley Tucci. "Kieran's scene-stealing presence and undeniable charm are perfect for Caesar Flickerman, the sickeningly watchable host of Panem's darkest spectacle. Stanley Tucci made Caesar unforgettable - and now Kieran will make the role entirely his own," said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erin Westerman. No surprises? As per Variety, the novel Sunrise on the Reaping sold a staggering 1.5 million copies in its first week on sale in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, producing twice the first-week sales of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and three times that of Mockingjay. "After traveling with Coriolanus, who is endlessly manipulative and controlling, it was a relief to wear both Haymitch's voice and character. He has a much greater capacity for hope, love, and joy. More than Coriolanus - or Katniss, for that matter," Collins said. Speaking of revisiting a character whose future the readers are already familiar with, the author added, "It's another way to approach a story, but it has its advantages. If you look at Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, we learn in the prologue that the lovers will die. So you're really not focused on what's going to happen, but on how or why it happens."

Ralph Fiennes to play President Snow in 'Sunrise on the Reaping'
Award-winning actor Ralph Fiennes is set to bring his chilling talents to the world of Panem. Fiennes will play President Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping . The film, adapted from Suzanne Collins's latest novel, promises a thrilling dive into the history of the Hunger Games. Fiennes steps into the shoes of the late Donald Sutherland, who masterfully portrayed the tyrannical leader in the original Hunger Games series. Tom Blyth previously played a younger Snow in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes , according to Breaking News. Fiennes, at 62, is perfectly aged to depict Snow during the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. 'We wanted to honour Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation's greatest actors play President Snow. This is 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena,' said producer Nina Jacobson. She also added, 'Working with Ralph has been on my bucket list since he traumatised me for life in Schindler's List . It's genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games.' Sunrise on the Reaping centres on Haymitch Abernathy, the District 12 mentor, later known for his alcoholism and cynicism. Haymitch, played by Joseph Zada, finds himself a tribute in the brutal 50th Hunger Games. These games are particularly vicious, featuring double the tributes from each district. Fiennes joins a cast that includes Joseph Zada as Haymitch Abernathy, Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, and other talented actors like Maya Hawke and Jesse Plemons. Francis Lawrence, who directed Catching Fire and both Mockingjay films, returns to direct. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will hit cinemas on 20 November 2026.

These Side-By-Side Photos Of The "Hunger Games" Prequel Actors Next To The Original Cast Will Make You Do A Double Take
With The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping casting announcements rolling out, many fans of the franchise have been excited to see who's playing the younger version of their favorite characters. Honestly, these casting directors deserve a raise, because their decisions are *chef's kiss*. Here are 9 side-by-sides of the Hunger Games prequel characters vs. the original actors: the original movies, Effie Trinket — the District 12 tributes' escort to the Hunger Games — was portrayed by Elizabeth Banks. She told Behind the Lens, "It's really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day, and watch Effie appear. It required a full transformation. I never knew how old she was, in reading the book. She could be 30, or she could be 100. I imagine, in the future, life expectancy is long, and they use crazy plastic surgery. Who the hell knows what's going on? So, I really wanted her to be ageless. Gary's [Ross] one real note was, 'I imagine Joel Grey in Cabaret for her face.' That was our jumping off point and why we ended up with the rough skin and the gnarliness of that." In Sunrise on the Reaping, fan favorite casting choice Elle Fanning will play the younger Effie. Elizabeth told People, "I'm super excited. I texted the producers as well, and I think she's perfect." Here's a side-by-side: role of Haymitch Abernathy, District 12 victor and Katniss and Peeta's mentor, was originated by Woody Harrelson in the first four movies. He told HuffPost, "That was kind of a discussion between Gary [Ross, the director] and I, because I always wanted to make Haymitch more drunk and debauched, but Gary wanted to keep a rein on it so that it wasn't too much like that. In other words there are times when he had to get down to business so, yes, that had to be properly pitched. Me, I am always in general ready to go over the top with it, so it is helpful to have a director like Gary bringing me back." Joseph Zada is set to star as the younger Haymitch in Sunrise on the Reaping. In a statement, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erin Westerman said, "The Hunger Games franchise has long been a launching pad for remarkable young actors, and Jo and Whitney [Peak, who will play Lenore] carry that legacy forward with incredible heart, depth, and fire. After auditioning hundreds of gifted performers from around the world, these two stood out — not just for their talent, but for the emotional truth they brought to these iconic roles." Here they are side by side: the original four movies, Caesar Flickerman — the host of the Hunger Games — was played by Stanley Tucci. He was very involved with developing the character's iconic look. Stanley told the Hollywood Reporter, "I was in London making a movie, and we knew what we wanted the fellow to look like. Then we experimented with stuff. I said, 'I'd like to try teeth. I'd like to try some noses. I want him to have a tan. We have to really make it look like he has plastic surgery.'" In Sunrise on the Reaping, recent Oscar winner Kieran Culkin will play a younger Caesar. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erin Westerman told People, "Kieran's scene-stealing presence and undeniable charm are perfect for Caesar Flickerman, the sickeningly watchable host of Panem's darkest spectacle. Stanley Tucci made Caesar unforgettable — and now Kieran will make the role entirely his own." Here they are side by side: Snow was portrayed by Donald Sutherland in the four original Hunger Games films. He told GQ, "Nobody asked me to do it. I wasn't offered it. I like to read scripts, and it captured my passion. I wrote them a letter. The role of the president had maybe a line in the script. Maybe two. Didn't make any difference. I thought it was an incredibly important film, and I wanted to be a part of it. I thought it could wake up an electorate that had been dormant since the '70s. I hadn't read the books. To be truthful, I was unaware of them. But they showed my letter to the director, Gary Ross, and he thought it'd be a good idea if I did it. He wrote those wonderfully poetic scenes in the rose garden, and they formed the mind and wit of Coriolanus Snow." In The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Tom Blyth starred as the younger Coriolanus Snow. He told Variety, "I don't think I anticipated how emotionally taxing the role was going to be. I was like, 'I'm part of a big blockbuster franchise. This is gonna be fun!'" In the same film, Dexter Sol Ansell played the character as a child. He told Young Entertainment Mag, "When I first started acting, I never thought I would be on the red carpet, it was such a big pleasure, and in The Hunger Games, it was so amazing." Ralph Fiennes is set to play President Snow in Sunrise on the Reaping. Donald Sutherland died in 2024. In a press release, producer Nina Jacobson said, "We wanted to honor Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation's greatest actors play President Snow." Here they are side by side: Snow, a Capitol stylist and cousin to Coriolanus, was played by Eugenie Bondurant in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2. She told the Tampa Bay Times that, when she first stepped onto the set of Tigris's shop, "I started crying. It was beautiful. Everything was pulled together, and the set designer said, 'Do you know how long we've been waiting for this? For you to be here?' She said this is the only bright moment in the entire movie." Here's Eugenie out of costume. In The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Hunter Schafer played the younger version of Tigris. She told Entertainment Tonight, "Tigris kind of feels like the first character piece I've really done that's not like a teenage girl who is kind of like one step away from who I am. It was like a challenge for me." In the same movie, Rosa Gotzler portrayed Tigris as a child. Here's a side-by-side of Eugenie and Hunter: And here's Rosa with Hunter: 3 victor Wiress was played by Amanda Plummer in Catching Fire. Maya Hawke will play a younger Wiress in Sunrise on the Reaping. Here they are side by side: the original series, Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee was played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. He'd filmed most of his scenes for Mockingjay — Part 2 before his death in 2014, but he wasn't able to film what was meant to be an emotional scene opposite Katniss. So, Heavensbee's final words were read to her in a letter. Director Francis Lawrence told the Guardian, "I regret to have that…label of it being his last film. Because obviously, there's not quite enough of him in it. I would have liked his role to be larger." In Sunrise on the Reaping, Jesse Plemons — who actually played Philip's onscreen son in The Master — will play the younger version of Heavensbee. Erin Westerman told Variety, "Jesse is one of the most talented actors of his generation, with a proven record of picking his roles selectively. We are honored that he has chosen to bring his own take to one of the most fascinating figures in Panem, and feel that his previous collaboration with Philip Seymour Hoffman makes it all the more special. His Plutarch will be both a tribute to the character fans have already come to know and a portrayal he makes his own. We can't wait for audiences to see it." Here's a side-by-side: the first four movies, District 3 victor Beetee Latier was portrayed by Jeffrey Wright. He told SlashFilm, "I liked that his primary weapon was his capacity to think, and that he was less a fighter than a tinkerer. I thought that was interesting in the first movie, in Catching Fire, that among all these warriors there's an inventor. It just seemed contradictory and curious to me. And then I think I was attracted to his sense of responsibility to his fellow citizenry, to the cause, and his loyalty to the ideals behind this rebellion." Kelvin Harrison Jr. will play the younger Beetee in Sunrise on the Reaping. Here's a side-by-side: finally, Mags Flanagan, District 4 victor and Haymitch's mentor, was played by Lynn Cohen in Catching Fire. She told the Detroit Free Press, "First of all, I had the joy of working with three of the most beautiful young people. All my scenes were with Jennifer [Lawrence] and two gorgeous males. I was carried on the back of one of them [Sam Claflin, who played Finnick], up and down mountains. When I auditioned, I auditioned on Skype. The first thing they asked was, 'How much do I weigh?' I said, 'I don't know, 90 pounds?' I didn't realize I had to be on someone's back all the time. Then they asked, 'How strong are you?' I said, 'Oh, me? I'm strong like a bull.'" Lili Taylor is set to play the younger version of Mags in Sunrise on the Reaping. Here's a side-by-side: What do you think of these casting decisions?
