Sunrise on the Reaping is the newest movie and book for the Hunger Games Franchise. So far, as of today, we’ve got the casting for Wiress, Mags Flanagan, Haymitch Abernathy, Lenore Dove, Plutarch Heavensbee, Maysilee Donner and Beetee Latier.
As a result of the sporadic casting announcements, the casting is being announced throughout April, May and likely June as well. Wiress definitely had an actress that was similar to Maysilee in that she’s an extremely well-known actress. Mags’ actress is one that’s fifty-fifty, either way. Both of theirs will either surprise you or they’ll just be people you expect to be cast.
Official Wiress Character Actress
Wiress’ official actress is Maya Hawke. You probably know her as Robin from Stranger Things. She is an actress that feels like you either love her or you hate her. She’s someone who, despite her fame, feels like a decent choice.
She’s similar to Amanda Plummer in appearance and build. Plus, she’s genuinely good at what she does. The only real controversy she’s dealt with is her status as a Nepo baby. Which isn’t that bad, some of the other actors, as mentioned in previous articles, are Zionists. So, it genuinely could be worse, all things considered.
Maya Hawke Previous Roles
Now, since we’ve been talking so much about Maya Hawke, you probably want to know what she’s been in previously. Well, here’s the list of franchises she has been in before:
- Stranger Things (2016-now)
- Inside Out 2 (2024)
- Do Revenge (2022)
- Asteroid City (2023)
- Wild Cat (2023)
As you can see, she’s been in several things before, along with more things outside of this list. So, she has more than enough experience to play Wiress. Overall, she isn’t the worst actress to play Wiress, there could definitely be worse people to play her, and she seems like she’ll do a good job, even if she is a nepo baby. Now, it’s time for Mags Flanagan’s casting to be talked about.
Mags Flanagan Official Casting
Mags Flanagan’s official actress is Lili Taylor. She is an American Actress in her 50s. She seems to fit the role of Mags perfectly. She’s a strong woman with almost no actual controversy.
Sure, she’s had a complicated past considering her ex boyfriend stalking her and getting arrested, but that isn’t her fault. She’s also a woman who refuses to play by Hollywood’s rules, as talked about in this article. Overall, she’s a strange woman, but one who is perfectly suited for the role of Mags.
Previous Roles of Lili Taylor (H2)
So, we’ve talked a ton about Lili, but what has she been in previously? Well, here’s the list of franchises she’s been in previously:
- Mystic Pizza (1998)
- The Haunting (1999)
- Dogfight (1991)
- The Conjuring (2013)
- Household Saints (1993)
- Leatherface (2017)
There are more things she’s been in, but this is a basic list. As you can see, she’s in more indie-esque films than your typical actress. Overall, she’s a decent actress who also seems like she’ll do a decent job with Mags.
