Lionsgate’s first full-length trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping reveals the first proper look at cast members in iconic roles.

The film revisits the world of Panem and follows young Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

It features a star-studded cast, including Ralph Fiennes as President Snow, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, Maya Hawke as Wiress, Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle, McKenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, and more.
