Ralph Fiennes, the ‘Conclave’ actor, recently shared his excitement to play the younger version of President Coriolanus Snow, which was previously played by the late Donald Sutherland, in the upcoming prequel adaptation, ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.’
Ralph Fiennes as President SnowIn an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 62-year-old star said, “I worked with Donald Sutherland once. I thought he was fantastic,” while he was with Jodie Costner for their new film, ‘28 Years Later.’
“Obviously big shoes to sort of stand alongside of, but he brought wonderful complexity to that part, and I'm playing a slightly younger version of him. I am challenged but excited. I'm looking forward to it,” Fiennes added.
Previously, during the London Premiere of ‘28 Years Later,’ Ralph said that he is ‘really thrilled’ to play the younger version of Southerland. He said that while he is a huge fan of the late actor, Ralph would not try and imitate him in any case. However, he desired that he could echo the character Southerland created.
“Look, I’m a Donald Sutherland fan. I’m not going to try and be Donald Sutherland, because no one can be him. But I think the character he created is very complex… The complexity of that psychology, I hope I can echo in some way,” Finees stated, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
About ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.’The other star cast includes Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, Molly McCann, Iona Bell, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin and Ben Wang in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel which will be releasing on November 20, 2026, according to People.
“We wanted to honour Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation’s greatest actors play President Snow 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena. Working with Ralph has been on my bucket list since he traumatised me for life in Schindler's List. It’s genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games,” the producer, Nina Jacobson, said on May 16 about casting Ralph Fiennes as President Snow.
