Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the announcement of a new The Hunger Games prequel book came the confirmation of the Sunrise on the Reaping film, set to be released in theaters on November 20, 2026, with a new actor taking on the role of a younger Haymitch. Sunrise on the Reaping will focus on the Second Quarter Quell, or the 50th Hunger Games, which Haymitch won at just 16 years old.
Related Why Catching Fire Was Wrong To Cut Haymitch's Hunger Games Backstory Haymitch's backstory changes the course of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy. Here's why Catching Fire was wrong to cut the mentor's tragic past. 7 Harris Dickinson Known for Triangle of Sadness and The Iron Claw Close Harris Dickinson had another breakthrough performance recently as David Von Erich in A24’s The Iron Claw . For this role, Dickinson had to get into fighting shape, which could be a bonus when playing Haymitch. Harris played him from his wrestling debut at 21 to his tragic death at 25. He is portrayed as a great showman, which may draw more similarities to Peeta than Haymitch.
Though they were comedic horror movies, The Babysitter films allowed Lewis to show off his acting chops. Within the comedy, Lewis’ character grappled with PTSD. If Sunrise on the Reaping plans to follow the storytelling of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by focusing on the aftermath of the Games as well, Haymitch’s own PTSD would likely be explored.
Eisner’s biggest role to date came as the lead romantic interest, Stig, in Netflix’s Tall Girl and its sequel, Tall Girl 2 . The same year Tall Girl was released, Eisner had his first major role on television, playing Taylor in Timeline . Though the success of Tall Girl made Eisner a famous face to a certain demographic, his being relatively unknown could help make him a convincing young Haymitch.
