Sutherland was 88 years old , while Snow is 58 at the meter of the 50th Hunger Games . Therefore , it is possible that the producers were already be after to remold . Snow was also played at 18 years older by Tom Blyth inThe Hunger Games : The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes .
Confirmed to take position 40 age afterThe Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes , Sunrise on the Reapingwill depictHaymitch Abernathy ’s victory in the Hunger Games . Baron Snow of Leicester still loom large over the story , already the tyrannical president of Panem . The Hunger Gamesfranchise may be counted amongSutherland ’s best moviesbecause of the fascinating persona he plays . Both Sutherland and Blyth portray a tainted politician with a deeply pessimistic panorama of the world , drive his maneuver of manipulation and terror , presenting a intriguing task for the next histrion to play him .
10Ralph Fiennes
Known For Schindler’s List (1993) & The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Ralph Fiennes is one of those fabled actors who most people would take for granted can do pretty much anything;his calling demonstrates a all-encompassing range of genre and character mixture . Things likeThe Wonderful Story of Henry SugarandThe Grand Budapest Hoteldemonstrate the quirkier side of his work talents , impersonate graphic symbol who move like they are grounded in a bizarre earth . Fiennes ' status as a villain thespian is even more noteworthy , having play the master opponent of the landmark movieSchindler ’s Listand Lord Voldemort in theHarry Pottermovies .
It was late announced that The Hunger Games franchise is continue its prequel data formatting with Sunrise on the Reaping , which would explore Panem and its second Quarter Quell , thus give the threshold for an origin story for District 12 ’s Haymitch . A late report indicated that Challengers star Mike Faist was being eye for the function , though franchise fans continue to throw other epithet out as idea . While Cobra Kai ’s Tanner Buchanan is certainly a great idea , House of the Dragon ’s Tom Glynn - Carney is a compelling choice due to his compelling acting and forcible resemblance to Woody Harrelson .
TheHarry Pottermovies do n’t delve into the psychology of Voldemort as much as they could because of time restraint , but it can be assumed that Fiennes would toy a mentally complex version of Snow . Sutherland antecedently portrayed a insidious character arc and conveyed much within a few lines of dialog . Fiennes would be a strong choice to play Snow devote his live talent , and would go up to the lordliness of the character and his machinations during thetimeline ofSunrise on the Reaping .
9Joel Edgerton
Known For The Great Gatsby (2013), Boy Erased (2018), & The King (2019)
Alternatively , Sunrise on the Reapingmay opt for the approach of casting a known actor as Snow but not someone who is already a living caption , allowing the character to not be shadow by the name . Joel Edgerton has appear in a mint but is unquestionably not as famous as Sutherland or Fiennes . However , he has played some complex antagonistic character in motion picture such asThe Great Gatsby , Boy Erased , andThe Gift . Yet he has always been an downplay , reliable option for many different roles .
Edgerton ’s best function admit the more down - to - world theatrical role of Falstaff inThe Kingand Owen Lars inObi - Wan Kenobi . What ’s interesting aboutSnow ’s backstory inThe Hunger Gamesis that he did not have everything hand to him ; he actually has more in common with Katniss than she ever bring in , having experienced impoverishment and been ruthlessly dictated to get where he is .

8Rhys Ifans
Known For Notting Hill (1999), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), & House Of The Dragon (2022-Present)
Rhys Ifans has lead a recollective and storied vocation ; some of his most famous roles are so entrenched in comedy that no one is going to act they have anything to do with his potential to trifle Snow . However , his role asOtto Hightower inHouse of the Dragonis as nigh to Snow as anyone could hope to get . Ifans ' execution as Otto is striking because of how he carry deliberate calculation and nuancewith each line ; he wield a facade of reason and even compassion , but everyone knows he means to win the game of thrones .
Ifans could basically play Otto all over again in Sunrise on the Reaping , perhaps delving into a new aspect of Snow ’s character with how his family plays into his ambitions .
Otto ’s character reference has the tot up complexity of his family being part of his strategy , leave alone mass inquire if he would ever prioritise his children ’s felicity over the Iron Throne .

In the eccentric of the James Bond motion-picture show , Bond ’s preparedness signify that he has to be quick to jump off into action at law , given the franchise ’s genre . WithKnives Out , Benoit Blanc ’s perceptiveness has undertones of comedy , as these movies demonstrate satiric elements . play Snow , Craig would still be portraying someone who is very intelligentbut has specifically honed this innate skill to serve his goals of being a roughshod drawing card with an smoothing iron hold on the country .
Craig also played the shrewd journalist Mikael Blomkvist inThe little girl with the Dragon Tattoo , highly praised for his carrying into action despite the enfranchisement being cut short . His character Lord Asriel inThe Golden Compasshas some shades of villainy ; while this enfranchisement also did n’t make it past the first moving-picture show , Craig doubtlessly knew about the crime Asriel would charge and incorporated this variety of decision into his execution . Being able-bodied to subtly convey always playing the long biz is a vital part of Snow ’s role .
6Alastair Mackenzie

Hugo Weaving is one of the leading villain actors in Hollywood history , always encounter surprisingly hifalutin , chilling characters . Everyone ’s minds will immediately go to Agent Smith , as Weaving ’s carrying into action is an iconic part ofThe Matrix . Hugo has master the unfeeling obstetrical delivery of lines that demonstrate how his characters survive beyond normal liveliness . A belief in his own superiority is also an aspect of Snow , as he believes that in a pawl - eat - dog macrocosm , he is one of the few with the conclusion and insight to prevail .
Hugo has mastered the unfeeling delivery of strain that demonstrate how his characters subsist beyond normal lifetime .
Suzanne Collins Hunger Games serial publication is go on with a young prequel , Sunrise on the Reaping , and it use a trend the franchise has refused to let on .
Snow is more human than Smith , or at least more interested in acting like he is human . However , Weaving ’s all-inclusive life history prove that he can play villains who both understand thought based on compassion and emotionbut reject it . Even Elrond , although he is a heroic character inThe Lord of the Rings , is pretty detach from the precedency of mortals . Overall , Weaving has the enceinte - than - animation on - silver screen quality that Snow might want for another movie .
4Mark Strong
Known For Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) & 1917 (2019)
Mark Strong has play many intimidate characters in positions of authority , including those inThe Imitation Game , Robin Hood , andZero Dark Thirty . These titles , as well as1917andTinker Tailor Soldier Spy , are establish on real - life military and espionage , with some being more activity - oriented , making them unlike from the demands of play Snow . However , conveying federal agency and news is still important to the fiber ’s report , andit would be fascinating to see Strong further develop some of the case archetypes he has worked with before .
Namely , Snow is not a soldier by the time ofSunrise on the Reaping , having make a motion on to the world of cautiously go one opus across the chessboard at a time . On the other hand , Strong ’s characters trend toward at least experience some noble intentions , while Snow is undeniably a tyrant;this represents another eccentric adaption it would be amazing to see Strong achieve . However , his power to flirt classic villains has been proven , such as when he portray the malefic Lord Blackwood inSherlock Holmes .
3Tom Hollander
Known For Pride & Prejudice (2005) & Feud (2024)
Tom Hollander is certainly call back for characters associated with some amount of pomp and consideration , performing experiences that could service him well inThe Hunger Games , when Snow is almost single - handedly responsible for the Games becoming the distastefully pontifical spectacle that it is . This includes the villain role of Cutler Beckett inPirates of the Caribbeanand the undesirable suitor Mr. Collins inPride & Prejudice . Both characters are unlikable in an faultless way .
Hollander ’s late noteworthy role was as the famous generator TrumanCapote in Feud : Capote vs. the Swan , a character who is much more forthcoming and spectacular than Snow would be . On the other hand , hisThe White Lotuscharacter Quentin is more mysterious in his scheming , much more blood-related to theHunger Gamesvillain . Hollander has a wide variety of experience , but playing a poised theatrical role in the linguistic context of an“Eat the Rich”series , in especial , speaks to his suitability to joinSunrise on the Reaping .
2Christian Bale
Known For The Dark Knight (2008), American Hustle (2013), & Ford V Ferrari (2019)
Many people might still primarily link up Christian Bale withThe Dark Knight , but his vocation has gone far beyond distinctive love interest and classic superheroes , cover themes of ambition and corruption that resonate with Snow . The most obvious example of this would be his Oscar - appoint performance inAmerican Hustleas a gyp man pulled into a government entrapment scheme . This was not his last prison term go with David O. Russell , as he reunited with the director forAmsterdam , nor his last political drama , as he was nominated again for his performance inVice .
However , Bale ’s general versatility is dumfounding , making for an line of reasoning that he should not be counted out for any role . He might not be known for playing straightforward scoundrel — even Gorr inThor : Love and Thunderis very sympathetic — but this only wee the opening of him roleplay such a character even more exciting . Bale completely transforms and commit every time he takes on a new character , and would doubtlessly do the same with Snow .
1Jason Isaacs
Known For Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (2002) & The Death Of Stalin (2017)
Like Ifans , Jason Isaacs is known for a character who could essentially be swipe out of his old movies and recast as Snow , with some small tweaks , and it would be true to the president ’s characterization . Lucius Malfoy is one of the bighearted go back villain of theHarry Potterseries , who has a very elegant , respectable part that he wields as a arm . Even in the middle of a combat , Lucius ' approach is thrifty talks ; he has made himself one of the most powerful the great unwashed in whizz Britain through his riches and sociableness to achieve his remnant .
The Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping already has a meaning advantage over The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes for one primal reason .
Lucius ' lineament also include the subplot of how his family play into his program , although perhaps unlike Snow , he will put his wife and son first . In addition toHarry Potter , Isaacs ' career spans many other spectacular and villainous roles that make him more than restricted to act as President Snow inThe Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping .
