Everything We Know About The ‘Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping’ Movie So Far
A sixth 'Hunger Games' film based on the prequel story of Haymitch Abernathy is headed to theaters in 2026 based on Suzanne Collins fifth novel.
Haymitch, portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the quartet of films based on Collins’ original book trilogy, was Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark’s (Josh Hutcherson) mentor for their two Hunger Games — the 74 th and 75 th. More familiar characters who will prominently feature in this story are of course President Snow (portrayed by the late Donald Sutherland in the first four Hunger Games films and later Tom Blythe in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), Plutarch Heavensbee (portrayed by the late Philip Seymour-Hoffman in Catching Fire and Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2), Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks in the original four Hunger Games films), Beetee (Jeffrey Wright in Catching Fire and both parts of Mockingjay) and Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci’s commentator and celebrity personality from the first quartet). Every 25 years, the capitol of Panem, the dystopian nation in which these stories take place, reinforces what is called the Quarter Quell, meaning a special wrinkle or rule is added to the Hunger Games before The Reaping ceremony, in which tribute names are drawn.
