Peter Dinklage will be seen playing the character of Dean Highbottom in Lionsgates' The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The stellar new cast also includes Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth, Hunter Schafer, and Josh Andres Rivera.
Speaking of his character and The Hunger Games, Peter Dinklage said, “I love the tragedy in Highbottom because he's dealing with the guilt of the consequences of co-creating the Games because it's now out of his control. The genie has been uncorked and running mad, and he can't get it back in".
Peter continued, "To Highbottom, Coriolanus represents his father; he looks, sounds, and behaves like him, at least in my mind. Highbottom has a feeling that history is going to repeat itself, and he doesn't trust this young man and has an eye on him for good reason."
Directed by Francis Lawrence, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be released by Lionsgate and PVRINOX Pictures in theatres in India on November 17, 2023.
