Hunger Games: Who Will Replace Donald Sutherland as Snow in Sunrise on the Reaping?

Hunger Games actor Donald Sutherland passed away on June 20, 2024, at the age of 88. In a timely coincidence, author Suzanne Collins recently announced a new Hunger Games prequel titled “Sunrise on Reaping.” The novel, set for adaptation into a film, will center on Haymitch Abernathy’s story. With the return of beloved characters anticipated, a key casting question lingers for fans: who will portray the new Coriolanus Snow in this upcoming installment?

Here’s everything you need to know about who might replace Donald Sutherland as the young President Snow.

Which actors could replace Donald Sutherland as President Snow in the new Hunger Games movie?

There is no official confirmation from the film franchise as to who is replacing Donald Sutherland as President Snow in the new Hunger Games flick.

However, considering the prequel is set during the 50th Hunger Games, Snow is supposed to be middle-aged; thus, it opens the door for many actors to replace him.

During the 50th Hunger Games, Coriolanus Snow was supposedly middle-aged and played a vital role in Haymitch’s story. Safe to say, the character’s return is likely. Recently, Tom Blyth has expressed his interest in coming back, but his return remains unconfirmed, as per the Daily Mail. Blyth played the role of a younger Coriolanus Snow in the 2023 prequel The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Despite the casting process remaining under wraps, fans have already begun speculating on who could portray a middle-aged President Snow. According to My Cast, popular suggestions include Tom Hiddleston, known for his performance as Loki, and Ralph Fiennes, whose turn as the villainous Voldemort in the Harry Potter series garnered widespread critical acclaim. However, the most compelling fan favorite appears to be Kiefer Sutherland, son of Donald Sutherland, who originally played President Snow.

Could Kiefer Sutherland play President Snow in Sunrise on the Reaping?

At the time of writing, there is no official confirmation of Kiefer Sutherland taking up the role of President Snow.

However, he is currently the top fan choice for the role of President Snow in Sunrise on the Reaping, as per Reddit.

Sutherland may replace his father in the upcoming Hunger movies, considering his age and striking resemblance to his father. The upcoming movie might feature Snow in his 50s, and currently, Kiefer Sutherland is 58 years old, making him a good choice. That said, Snow’s appearance in the movie is not yet confirmed.
