Ralph Fiennes Is 'Excited' to Carry on Late Costar Donald Sutherland's Hunger Games Role: 'No One Can Be Him'
Ralph Fiennes is sharing his thoughts on portraying 'Hunger Games' villain President Snow in the next prequel. "I’m not going to try and be Donald Sutherland, because no one can be him," the actor said, noting the late Sutherland's four-movie turn as Snow in the series' original movies.
The actor, 62, was cast as President Coriolanus Snow — the character famously portrayed by the late Donald Sutherland in the original Hunger Games films — in Lionsgate's upcoming adaptation of Suzanne Collins' prequel novel in the series back in May. Fiennes will costar with Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, Molly McCann, Iona Bell, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin and Ben Wang in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel. “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," producer Nina Jacobson said of Fiennes' casting on May 16.
