Mckenna Grace and Ben Wang Choose Their Hunger Games Revolution Squads
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will show the first sparks of the revolution that eventually erupts throughout The Hunger Games trilogy. Ahead of the film’s release, Sunrise on the Reaping stars Mckenna Grace and Ben Wang considered which characters they would want beside them if they had to lead a revolution of their own.
Grace and Wang, who portray District 12 tributes Maysilee Donner and Wyatt Callow, respectively, visited Mashable’s Say More studio to play “Choose Your Squad.” The game challenged the actors to assemble revolutionary teams from characters featured across the original Hunger Games trilogy, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
Katniss Everdeen, Lucy Gray Baird and President Snow Enter the Draft
The available characters included major figures such as Katniss Everdeen and Lucy Gray Baird, giving Grace and Wang a wide range of potential allies for their imagined uprising. Their selections raise several questions: Who would become the first draft pick, which team would be most likely to pull off a successful revolution, and whether either actor would make the ultimate wild-card choice by recruiting President Snow.
The full game reveals how Mckenna Grace and Ben Wang weigh the strengths and risks of characters from different eras of Panem’s history. Viewers can watch the complete video to see which squads the two actors create and whether President Snow becomes part of either revolutionary lineup. As the film’s own familiar phrase goes, may the odds be ever in your favor.
