As the release date for “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” slowly approaches, “The Hunger Games” social media accounts have begun showcasing the cast for the much-anticipated sixth film of the franchise.
Unsurprisingly, there have already been some complaints surrounding the cast shown so far. These complaints have been primarily thrown at the actor casted to play Haymitch Abernerthy.
What’s great about the complaints, however, is that they are all unserious, and I love that.
A majority of the comments under the post are people having disappointment over the fact that Woody Harrelson, who played Haymitch in the first four films, isn’t reprising the role.
What’s so funny about this is that Harrelson is 63 years old, and the film takes place during the characters’ youth.
No direct complaint has been made towards Joseph Zada, the actor casted. They have all been about how they are disappointed it isn’t Harrelson in a backwards ball cap, or a propellor hat and lollipop.
The actor casted seems to be unknown, which I personally think is a good thing, and I am sure Zada’s performance will be great.
Other characters announced are for Lenore Baird, set to be played by Whitney Peal, and Maysilee Donner, played by McKenna Grace.
I am excited to see Grace’s performance as a young, up and coming actress. Practically any blonde character can be played to perfection by Grace, so I am very happy with this casting.
