Title “Sunrise at the Reaping” has announced its casting for Caesar Flickerman, a role previously filled by Stanley Tucci in the original Hunger Games movies. The upcoming film is set 24 years before Katniss Everdeen’s first Hunger Games, and it features Caesar interviewing Haymitch Abernathy and the other 47 tributes during the second Quarter Quell the evening before the games begin. Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, Mckenna Grace, Ralph Fiennes, and Jesse Plemons are already part of the “Sunrise on the Reaping” cast, with Zada playing Haymitch, Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, Grace as Maysilee Donner, Fiennes as President Coriolanus Snow, and Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee.
Excitedly, I can confirm that I, Kieran Culkin, have landed the coveted role of Caesar Flickerman! My recent victory at the Academy Awards as Best Supporting Actor for Benji Kaplan in Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain” has certainly opened doors. But let’s not forget my Emmy-winning portrayal of Roman Roy in “Succession.” I can hardly wait to bring Caesar Flickerman to life!
What This Means For Sunrise On The Reaping
Caesar Flickerman Is An Important Addition To The Cast
The main cast of “Sunrise at the Reaping” is almost finalized, with Caesar being one of the few major characters yet to be officially cast. Despite the latest “Hunger Games” book being published only in March, there’s been a swift production process given the planned release on November 20, 2026. With Haymitch, Maysilee, President Snow, and now Caesar, along with numerous other significant characters, it’s ensured that filming can commence this summer as scheduled, maintaining the realistic prospect of a release in November 2026.
| Actor | Character |
|---|---|
| Joseph Zada | Haymitch Abernathy |
| Whitney Peak | Lenore Dove |
| Mckenna Grace | Maysilee Donner |
| Ralph Fiennes | President Snow |
| Jesse Plemons | Plutarch Heavensbee |
| Kelvin Harrison Jr. | Beetee Latier |
| Maya Hawke | Wiress |
| Lili Taylor | Mags Flanagan |
| Ben Wang | Wyatt Callow |
| Elle Fanning | Effie Trinket |
| Molly McCann | Louella McCoy |
| Iona Bell | Lou Lou |
| Kieran Culkin | Caesar Flickerman |
Among Fiennes, Plemons, Maya Hawke portraying Wiress, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Beetee, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, and more recently, Culkin joins the stellar adult cast of Sunrise on the Reaping. Known for his roles like Benji in A Real Pain, Culkin’s charm and charisma can be expected to shine through in his portrayal of a younger Caesar. Although his role is relatively small, it carries significant importance within the storyline.
Our Take On Kieran Culkin’s Sunrise On The Reaping Casting
It Is Another Excellent Choice
The captivating performances in “Sunrise at the Harvest” are maintaining my anticipation for the upcoming remake. Culkin seems perfectly equipped to deliver an extravagant portrayal befitting Caesar, even though he may not appear as frequently as Haymitch, Maysilee, Plutarch, and other characters. However, during interview scenes, he has the potential to outshine them all. Culkin’s interpretation of Caesar in “The Hunger Games: Dawn of the Harvesting” could potentially match Tucci’s unforgettable performance from the earlier films.
