Sunrise on the Reaping is a sad reminder of Donald Sutherland. In the four original Hunger Games movies, Sutherland played the role of the villainous President Snow. His performance is widely considered to be among the best in the movies through his ability to capture the character's cruelty,

Ralph Fiennes will become the third actor to take on the nefarious 'Hunger Games' villain in 'Sunrise on the Reaping'.

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.
