Kieran Culkin Jokes ‘Hunger Games’ Fans Should “Lower Those Expectations” For Him Playing Caesar Flickerman In ‘Sunrise On The Reaping’


Kieran Culkin joked 'Hunger Games' fans should 'lower those expectations' regarding his portrayal of Caesar Flickerman in 'The Sunrise on the Reaping'

A recent TikTok from user @lielbernis saw the actor signing Playbills for Glengarry Glen Ross, in which he stars alongside Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr at Broadway’s Palace Theatre, and as he was told he’d make an “amazing” Caesar Flickerman, the Succession alum responded: “I don’t think so, lower those expectations, please. The hotly anticipated and buzzy continuation of the preeminently popular dystopian YA series follows 2023’s entry The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, led by Rachel Zegler in a prequel that told the story of the 10th edition of the murderous arena. In Sunrise on the Reaping, viewers will watch as the story of Haymitch Abernathy unfolds; first portrayed by Woody Harrelson as a drunken and world-weary mentor, Joseph Zada ( We Were Liars) will trace the origins of the man through his traumatic experiences in the second Quarter Quell.
