Glenn Close is set to join the Hunger Games saga as Drusilla Sickle. She'll be playing a villainous role in the upcoming prequel The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. This news was announced during Lionsgate's presentation at CineEurope as reported by Deadline.

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.

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.
