Close will play Drusilla Sickle, while Porter will be Magno Stift in the movie adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, hitting theaters Nov. 20, 2026.

It’s not sunset on Sunrise On The Reaping cast announcements just yet. Billy Porter and Glenn Close have both joined the extensive cast of the new Hunger Games film, which also includes Joseph Zada as surviving victor Haymitch Abernathy (later played by Woody Harrelson), Jesse Plemons, Ralph Fiennes, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, and more.

Close and Porter join an increasingly expansive cast for the latest addition to the Hunger Games franchise. Beyond Zada’s Haymitch, the film includes Ralph Fiennes as the franchise’s latest President Snow, Jesse Plemons as games designer Plutarch Heavensbee, and Elle Fanning as the young Effie Trinket, still a social climber by the time of Sunrise.
