The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Logo Teaser Revealed at CinemaCon

Sunrise on the Reaping Logo Teaser Revealed48 tributes. One victor.

“I think these Games are going to be different.”

The first animated logo teaser for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping officially debuted at CinemaCon, giving us our first look at the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ newest Hunger Games novel.

And while it was technically a logo reveal, it felt like so much more.

Watch the Sunrise on the Reaping logo teaser below:

The bird and snake from the book cover twist into motion, a volcano erupts in the distance… and we hear Woody Harrelson’s voice at the end, with a line that immediately sent the fandom into a spiral:

“I think these Games are going to be different.”

The Bird, the Snake, and the 50th Hunger Games

The animated logo reveal leans heavily into the symbolism of Sunrise on the Reaping. The snake and bird imagery connects directly to the book’s cover and the flint striker emblem associated with Haymitch Abernathy and Lenore Dove.

The erupting volcano is also a major visual tease for the Second Quarter Quell arena. In Catching Fire, readers learned that Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games in an arena filled with deadly beauty and hidden traps. Sunrise on the Reaping finally expands that story, following a sixteen-year-old Haymitch as he is reaped into a Quarter Quell with twice the usual number of tributes.

What We Know About the Movie

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games and follows Haymitch Abernathy during the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

Francis Lawrence, who directed several previous Hunger Games films, returns to direct. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson are also producing, and Billy Ray, who co-wrote the original Hunger Games film, is writing the screenplay. At CinemaCon, Lawrence said the movie would begin filming in July and described it as a “return to form” for the franchise. 

The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 20, 2026.

The book had already brought readers back to District 12 and into Haymitch’s point of view. But the logo reveal made the movie adaptation feel tangible for the first time.

The volcano. The bird. The snake. The flint striker. The voiceover. The promise that these Games are going to be different.

It was not a full trailer yet, but it was the first spark.

And in Panem, sparks have a way of becoming something much bigger.
