Lionsgate released a new 2-minute trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, featuring Ralph Fiennes as President Coriolanus Snow and Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, on Thursday.
Joseph Zada also stars as a young Haymitch Abernathy, a tribute in the 50th Hunger Games, aka the Second Quarter Quell.
Other cast members spotted in the clip include Glenn Close and Mckenna Grace.
Set for release on Nov. 20, 2026, the dystopian film “will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell,” the studio said in a synopsis.
It follows another Hunger Games prequel, 2020’s The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
All of the films are based on the best-selling young adult novels by Suzanne Collins.
Woody Harrelson played an older Haymitch in the original Hunger Games trilogy, while late actors Donald Sutherland and Philip Seymour Hoffman portrayed older versions of President Snow and Plutarch.
