A new poster for The Hunger Games: Sunrise of the Reaping finds tributes poised and ready for the Second Quarter Quell

Hollywood news ,

Another Hunger Games movie is due to arrive later this year, and fans of Suzanne Collins’ enduring YA novel series are already gearing up for the next chapter of the dystopian thriller on the silver screen. Ahead of CinemaCon, taking place this coming week, Lionsgate unveiled a new poster for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, depicting the start of the Second Quarter Quell. Are you ready for the games to begin?

What’s the latest Hunger Games movie about?

According to the film’s official synopsis, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping revisits the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

A new poster volunteers as tribute

The environment depicted on the new poster is giving Misommar vibes, with contestants from different districts positioned around a structure that looks like an oversized Met Gala gown on steroids. Colorful flowers grow along the building’s outer rim, with tributes dressed in white and ready to grab their gear for the big game of sacrifice, shattered dreams, and death.

The last installment of the franchise, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, was also a prequel, showcasing the rise of a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) during the 10th Annual Hunger Games.

All the stars are here!

Lionsgate dropped a first-look at The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping on Friday, but it doesn’t show much of the new film. However, it does feature some fan-favourite characters in their younger incarnations, including Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown) as Effie Trinket, Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) as Caesar Flickerman, Jesse Plemons (Civil War) as Plutarch Heavensbee, Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Mufasa: The Lion King) as Beetee, Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) as President Snow, Lili Taylor (Daredevil: Born Again 2) as Mags, Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) as Wiress, and Joseph Zada (Invisible Boys) as Haymitch Abernathy.

In addition to the names I’ve already mentioned, Sunrise on the Reaping also stars Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2) as Lenore Dove Baird, Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) as Maysilee Donner, Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends) as Wyatt Callow, and Glenn Close (Wake Up Dead Man) as Drusilla Sickle.

Fans can also look forward to the return of Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Given that the film is a prequel to the originals, Lawrence and Hutcherson are likely to have limited roles. The novel by Suzanne Collins may offer clues about how the actors will be used, as it features an epilogue in which Haymitch tells Katniss and Peeta about his past. Nothing has been confirmed, but I could imagine Woody Harrelson returning as the older Haymitch.

How Curtis Blaydes vs Josh Hokit Exceeded All Expectations at UFC 327 | Deadspin.com <div id="section-1"> <p>Expectations were not high for the heavyweight matchup between Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hokit at UFC 327. There were multiple reasons for that. No one can deny, however, that the two put on a 15-minute performance that blew people away.</p><p>Blaydes vs. Hokit was not the matchup a lot of people were excited about entering UFC 327. </p><p>It felt like a fight that was solely designed for Hokit to get another victory and move him, lightning fast, up the ranks of a <a href="https://deadspin.com/the-ufc-heavyweight-division-is-broken--and-ufc-vegas-113-proved-it/" target="_blank">lackluster heavyweight scene</a> in the UFC.</p><h2 id="josh-hokit" class=" uppercase break-words">Josh Hokit</h2><p>Hokit’s MMA career is still fairly young. He was a standout wrestler at Fresno State; in 2018, he became the college’s first All-American in the sport since 2003. But Hokit chose the football life, having also served as a tight end and fullback at Fresno State. Hokit went undrafted in 2020 but signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent. Unfortunately for Hokit, he spent 2020-22 solely on the practice squad or futures contracts with the 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals.</p><p>But then Hokit made his way to MMA. He scored a pair of finishes with Bellator in 2023 and 2024 before three straight first-round finishes with the LFA in 2025. That set him up for a shot on Dana White’s Contender Series, where he scored a second-round stoppage over Guilherme Uriel. Hokit then fought at UFC Vegas 111 and UFC 324, scoring first-round finishes over Max Gimenis and Denzel Freeman, respectively.</p><p>Hokit, however, has been a very big magnet of controversy. He delivers cringe-style promos and characters in a way that makes you think he belongs in WWE more than UFC. He dropped the N-word at UFC 324. He has called Britney Griner and former U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama men. The UFC 324 promo, in particular, was lambasted by several outlets, and even <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dana-white-denounces-josh-hokit-172957379.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANrdCvw8OURgRHdY3zM7yx204IFvWbXRG8YTHY3qllqw0NyyMKufBXNSPIWZ3bQaf1ug4PQj4-xUQSzmVPEH9tNGmBBOOUuEDebO7tBWuebFf7cO7kPXQgTwnVYTUNUBvDmLw47yXwl1r8gy0xQdKeLSj9wvYfLaa7oNvj1Bk-xf" target="_blank">UFC CEO and President Dana White couldn’t defend it.</a></p><p>But White also knows eye-drawing attention when he sees it, and it seems he sees that with Hokit.</p><h2 id="curtis-blaydes" class=" uppercase break-words">Curtis Blaydes</h2><p>Blaydes, however, has also been subjected to a lot of criticism. A lot of it has been centered around feelings that Blaydes hasn’t been the most exciting fighter to watch. Blaydes was an NJCAA national wrestling champion, and he uses that wrestling as his base in MMA. The result is one of those fighting styles that focuses on takedowns and control on the ground that you don’t mind if you appreciate wrestling and grappling, or that you absolutely hate if you want to see heavyweights stand and bang.</p><p>White has also been a previous critic of Bladyes’ fight style and attitude.</p><p>Blaydes has also not performed in some of his bigger opportunities, from his KO loss to Derrick Lewis in 2021, to getting stopped by Sergei Pavlovich in 2023, and getting quickly finished by Tom Aspinall in their interim title fight in 2024. It’s given him a lot of “low Fight IQ” and “glass jaw” tags.</p><h2 id="the-fight" class=" uppercase break-words">The Fight</h2><p>The majority opinion was Hokit vs. Blaydes would go one of two ways: Hokit would finish Blaydes quickly or Blaydes would out-wrestle Hokit in a 15-minute snoozefest.</p><p>Instead, for 15 minutes, these two went <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/watch/mma/video/josh-hokit-defeats-curtis-blaydes-via-unanimous-decision" target="_blank">toe-for-toe and shot-for-shot</a>. It got sloppy at times, it wasn’t the neatest fight, but, my goodness, was it a back-and-forth brawl that was fun to watch.</p><p>Hokit looked like he’d get Blaydes out of there quickly. Then Blaydes finally was able to wrestle, and he started to trouble Hokit against the fence. Each man wobbled the other to points where it looked like the fight would get stopped, but it kept going. Each man looked like at one point or another they’d gas out, but both kept going.</p><p>Hokit got his hand raised in the end, but it was the kind of fight heavyweight has been needing.</p><p>With a murky championship picture and a slew of boring, losing, or undeserved fighters throughout the division, even in the rankings, Hokit and Blaydes put on a performance that is to be remembered. Depending how the rest of 2026 plays out, it might even be Fight of the Year.</p><p>White still doesn’t like Hokit’s persona, but no one can deny Hokit has earned his stripes. He even got booked against Lewis for the White House card because of this night!</p><p>Hats off to Hokit and Blaydes. Thanks for reminding us what heavyweight MMA can be.</p> </div> #Curtis #Blaydes #Josh #Hokit #Exceeded #Expectations #UFC #Deadspin.com

IPL 2026: Suryavanshi is mature for his age, says RR teammate Deshpande <div id="content-body-70854674" itemprop="articleBody"><p>To call Vaibhav Suryavanshi the talk of the T20 circuit is quite the understatement. After showing flashes of promise last season, he has taken a giant leap forward, and the numbers reflect it emphatically.</p><p>Having scored 252 runs in seven innings then, he has taken just four games to reach 200 runs this time. His Rajasthan Royals teammate Tushar Deshpande believes the secret to his success lies in his mental strength.</p><p>“He plays the ball, not the bowler. He is quite mature for his age, which is extraordinary and something I have not seen in my cricketing career. A 15-year-old boy smashing world-class bowlers! He always has an upper hand on bowlers.”</p><p>Ahead of the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Deshpande steered clear of comparisons between the opening pairs of both sides.</p><p>“The strengths and weaknesses are completely different. I can’t bowl to Vaibhav in training as preparation to face Travis Head. All four are quite explosive but are different in the way they approach the game or score runs,” he said.</p><p>At this stage, it no longer feels like Suryavanshi is adapting to the IPL, but the league is scrambling to adapt to him. If this trajectory continues, the teenager will not just be the story of this season, but a defining force in the T20 landscape for years to come. </p><p>As for ‘Travishek’, the OG Goliaths of T20 power-hitting will be eager to remind the teenager that every new generation must first pass through the old guard.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 12, 2026</p></div> #IPL #Suryavanshi #mature #age #teammate #Deshpande
