Recently, Lionsgate sparked laughter and curiosity among many when they revealed new titles for Sunrise in The Reaping. This news is certainly piquing the interest of fans who are longtime enthusiasts of the classic Hunger Games franchise. Die-hard fans of the series have been noticing some significant Easter eggs in the way the studio has been unveiling its cast lineup.
Last month, I was thrilled to learn that the initial cast for the upcoming movie has been revealed! Among them is Joseph Zada, taking on the role of Haymitch Abernathy, our main character. Also included are Whitney Peak, who will bring Lenore Dove Baird to life, McKenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, and Jesse Plemons, set to embody Plutarch Heavensbee on screen.
Users on social media swiftly pointed out that the announcement of the actors might be a subtle reference to the number of offerings gathered from each district for the 50th Hunger Games in the book, symbolizing tributes.
Just in case you’re not aware, the Hunger Games participated by Haymitch, more famously recognized as the Second Quarter Quell, had a unique twist. Instead of the usual number of participants, it boasted a whopping double, with a grand total of 48 tributes taking part.
Beyond Haymitch and Maysilee, the tributes from District 12 also include Wyatt Callow, portrayed by Ben Wang, and Louella McCoy. At this point, these characters haven’t secured their roles in the production.
Fans of The Hunger Games noticed that the official social media accounts for the series went silent for nearly 18 days before announcing their next cast members. Among these newcomers was Kelvin Harrison Jr., who was chosen to play Beetee. Interestingly, this delay in announcement coincided with the time Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (portrayed by Josh Hutcherson) spent waiting in the arena during the first book of The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will hit the theaters on November 20, 2026.
