Lionsgate Releases 14 Character Posters for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Lionsgate has released 14 new character posters for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, spotlighting its sprawling cast with arena foliage and sunset styling. Lionsgate has released 14 new character posters for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, spotlighting the film's sprawling cast. The artwork leans into arena foliage and sunset styling, giving the campaign a strong visual identity. The film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel continues the Hunger Games franchise on the big screen. The new artwork emphasizes natural elements, with leaves and warm sunset tones framing each character. This approach gives the campaign a distinct look compared to earlier promotional materials.The posters are traditional character portraits rather than the viral, propaganda-inspired pieces used for previous films. The cast featured across the 14 posters includes Alina Reid as Kerna, Salimou Thiam as Clayton, Kaine Buffonge as Hull, Sky Frances as Maritte, Tatyana Muzondo as Ringina, and Kara Tointon as Willamae.These names join the previously announced ensemble for the film. The cast is massive, as fans have known since Lionsgate began slowly announcing it via short reels. Instead of more reels to show off the characters, the studio opted for much more traditional character posters.They are about what audiences expect from character posters these days, but the extra foliage and the overall sunset vibes give these a much nicer aura than other art that has been released. In general, the art for this movie has been pretty good, and the marketing leaning into the arena's look is absolutely the right move.The campaign appears to be aiming for a cohesive visual identity tied to the film's setting. The posters serve to introduce these characters to audiences ahead of the movie's release, giving each one a moment in the spotlight.The marketing for Sunrise on the Reaping differs from that of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The previous film leaned heavily into viral propaganda posters, which have not been seen this time around. Instead, Lionsgate has opted for a more traditional rollout, including these character posters.The director of Songbirds and Snakes had previously discussed how different that film was compared to the other entries in the franchise. That difference may explain why even the marketing felt distinct this time. Then again, some observers note that not leaning into propaganda and viral marketing for a Hunger Games movie is a huge miss, no matter how pretty the new art may be.The Hunger Games franchise has a history of immersive marketing that blurs the line between fiction and reality. The propaganda-style posters for earlier films were part of that strategy, engaging fans in the world of Panem. The shift for Sunrise on the Reaping suggests a different promotional approach, perhaps reflecting the tone of the new story.With 14 character posters now released, Lionsgate is building anticipation for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. The artwork showcases the large and impressive cast, giving each character a moment in the spotlight. The sunset and foliage motifs tie the posters together and hint at the arena environment central to the film.The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is based on the novel by Suzanne Collins. It continues the tradition of adapting the popular book series for the big screen. The film is produced by Lionsgate, which has handled the franchise since its inception.As the release date approaches, more promotional material is likely to follow. Fans can look forward to additional trailers, clips, and possibly other marketing initiatives. The current posters provide a first comprehensive look at the characters and the visual direction of the movie.Photo Credit: Courtesy of Lionsgate. © 2026 Lionsgate.
