In a recent podcast interview with Empire Magazine, actor Wesley Snipes revealed that he was going to make an appearance in Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 but things didn't go right, “We came close to doing something in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, there was some conversation about that, and he tried to put in a good word. And some people had reached out to me. It didn't come to me because they went a different direction ultimately. But that was close. How do you think it would have been to see Wesley Snipes star in the Hunger Games franchise? Sound off below with your thoughts! Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part One is set to hit theaters on November 21.

He would've been a side character, but it would definitley be interesting to see Snipes in a teeny bop movie.

@MrNiklander Agreed! After the Taken movies, that one with Costner, and that new Pierce Bronsnan one. Snipes could make a comeback of some degree. If he does have him play a bad guy dude can run his mouth like no other

Glad he's not in that Games franchise.
That's just weak shit...yea,teen girls need a hero but if your a guy,those movies are fluff.

You want a tough ass chick watch Ellen Ripley kick ass in Aliens.
Snipes needs to do the Liam Neeson thing,film action films about a bad ass older dude taking out scum.
