Who Will Star in "The Hunger Games: Dawn of the Harvest" (9 photos)

The Hunger Games: Dawn of Harvest will be the sixth film in the acclaimed dystopian series, setting the events before the original story told in the first installment. This film will once again immerse audiences in the world of Panem, showing familiar characters in their youth.

Production began in 2024, and the casting process proved quite exciting: young actors were given the chance to portray well-known characters. Among them were such talented actors as Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Maya Hawke, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, Glenn Close, and, of course, Ralph Fiennes.

Let's take a closer look at how similar the new actors are to those who previously portrayed these characters.
