A new report from THR has revealed that Sunrise on the Reaping will now feature the returns of original series stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, who will reprise their roles as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, respectively. To say fans will be thrilled is likely an understatement, and now the question becomes exactly how they make their return.
How Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson Can Return For Sunrise On The Reaping
That’s because Sunrise on the Reaping is once again a prequel story, and this particular film will focus on the 50th Hunger Games, which takes place 24 years before the events of the first film. One of the major elements in this film is that this Hunger Games features the participation of a young Haymitch Abernathy, who would go on to become a key mentor for Katniss.
The thinking is then that fans will see Katniss and Peeta return in a flash forward of some sort. It’s not known whether Katniss and Peeta’s perspectives will be a framing device for this film or if they will just have a key appearance at some point during the story, but having them involved in some way is a huge win, and will likely help bring in fans who perhaps didn’t pay as much attention to the previous entry, even though that was quite successful.
