The new ‘Hunger Games’ movie is holding an open casting call—and TikTok’s wacky auditions do not disappoint

If you’ve ever fancied your chances in the Hunger Games, now you have the opportunity to volunteer as tribute.

Lionsgate just announced an open audition call for a minor role in the upcoming prequel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. “To audition, show us your best: act out a scene, perform a song, or surprise us with something completely new,” the movie’s X account shared last week. “All talents welcome. No previous experience necessary.”

Many fans and budding actors are now eagerly taking their shot at being a part of the beloved movie franchise. After all, Rachel Zegler, who starred as Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, landed her breakout role through an open casting call.

However, if the producers were hoping the internet would take the auditions seriously, they clearly haven’t spent enough time on TikTok.

A cursory scroll through the hashtag #SOTRCastingContest sees everything from creators pretending to be a tribute running from the cornucopia in the games, to getting into character as a cleaner in the Hunger Games arena.

One TikTok creator performed a dramatic retelling of Hunger Games main character Katniss’ monologue from Mockingjay Part One, but in the voice of White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge. (Perfection.) Another TikToker proved she had the acting chops for the role of “the potato that Beetee works on,” while a third auditioned for the role of “one of the goose eggs katniss bring haymitch in the end of SOTR.”

Yet another TikToker offered their interpretation of the supporting role of “President Snow’s milk”—“Can’t wait to see you in the movie,” one person commented. “They’re gonna regret that open casting call,” another added.

Serious or not, there is still time to get your audition in before entries close on June 6, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The chosen actor will join Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, Ralph Fiennes as Coriolanus Snow, Joseph Zada as Haymitch Abernathy, and Maya Hawke as Wiress in the Haymitch-focused prequel set to hit screens November 20, 2026.

Entrants must be a U.S. resident and over the age of 18. May the odds be ever in your favor.
