Early within the Dawn on the Reaping e book, we be taught a younger Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada has been solid, and seems so much like Woody Harrelson) has a girlfriend named Lenore Dove, who can be performed by Whitney Peak.
Lenore Dove hasn’t been seen in different Starvation Video games motion pictures, however she’s bought just a few connections to some acquainted characters. Her cousin is Burdock Everdeen, who’s Katniss’s dad and is purported to be a second cousin to Lucy Grey Baird from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the feminine District 12 victor Snow mentored, performed by Rachel Zegler.

Elle Fanning has been completely solid as a youthful model after the e book options her origins within the recreation.
Effie’s sister, Proserpina, is a part of the District 12 prep crew throughout Haymitch’s video games, and he or she helps out after the unique stylist didn’t present up when she wanted her. I can’t wait to see Effie and Haymitch work together for the primary time after Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks performed the characters so effectively.
Starvation Video games’ Host Caesar Flickerman Will Be In The Center Of His Profession
Following Stanley Tucci’s iconic performances as Starvation Video games host, Caesar Flickerman, Kieran Culkin has been solid as a youthful Caesar.

Jesse Plemons is ready to play Plutarch this time round, who interacts so much with Haymitch all through the storyline.

You could bear in mind Jeffrey Wright in Catching Fireplace as Beetee Latier throughout the seventy fifth Starvation Video games when he’s reaped once more.
