The indelible impression Philip Seymour Hoffman made in “The Hunger Games” films as Plutarch Heavensbee, the Head Gamemaker during Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal of Katniss Everdeen, is something that will forever remain etched in our minds. For those familiar with the series, they know that Plutarch reappears in the upcoming book adaptation from the franchise, “Sunrise on the Reaping.” However, fans have been wondering who could possibly live up to Hoffman’s performance. Well, we finally have an answer! The actor chosen to step into the role of Plutarch has just been announced, and many believe it could be a perfect fit.
As a seasoned movie connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that Jesse Plemons, whose exceptional talent graced shows like Breaking Bad, Fargo, and Black Mirror, has officially signed on for an upcoming project. The news was confirmed via the film’s official Instagram announcement, which you can view below:

In the upcoming “Hunger Games” film, we find ourselves twenty-four years prior to the story’s initial events. During this time, Plutarch is depicted as a younger man, not yet holding the position of Head Gamemaker or leading the rebellion. Erin Westerman, co-president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, expressed her enthusiasm regarding the recent casting decision, as reported by Deadline.
Jesse, undeniably one of the most gifted actors of his time, demonstrates exceptional discernment in selecting roles… We are thrilled that he’s decided to breathe life into one of Panem’s most intriguing characters, a choice that feels even more significant given his past work alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman. His portrayal of Plutarch promises to be a blend of honoring the character fans have grown fond of while also showcasing his unique interpretation. We eagerly anticipate the moment audiences will get to witness it.
In 2012, Plemons collaborated with Philip Seymour Hoffman on the movie “The Master.” In this production, Plemons took on the role of Hoffman’s character’s son in a cult. As he prepares to embody a character that turned out to be Hoffman’s final screen performance, what an extraordinary bond they shared!
During the second Quarter Quell, we encounter Plutarch, who serves as a camera operator within the film crew that documents the reaping in District 12. In this event, an older Haymitch Abernathy (previously portrayed by Woody Harrelson) is selected among the four tributes, and plays a pivotal role throughout the prequel.
