The formidable leader of Panem has previously been portrayed by Donald Sutherland in the original four films, and in his younger years by Tom Blyth in 2023’s “A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” Fiennes’ Snow will fall between the two, 40 years after the events of “Songbirds” and 24 years before Katniss Everdeen’s time in the arena.

We’ve seen old Snow and young Snow, but the next Hunger Games movie has just found Snow in his summer years. Ralph Fiennes will be the next actor to step into President Coriolanus Snow’s bloody shoes for The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping.

Other recent additions to the cast are Lili Taylor (“The Conjuring”) and rising young talent Ben Wang (“Karate Kid Legends”), who recently worked with Lawrence on the upcoming Stephen King adaptation “The Long Walk“ coming to theaters on September 12.
