The film stars Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, McKenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, Ben Wang, Ralph Fiennes, Elle Fanning, Glenn Close, Billy Porter, and Kieran Culkin.

The Lionsgate film is based on Suzanne Collins’s bestselling novel. It was published on March 18 and received wide acclaim.
