A look at every upcoming Elle Fanning movie and TV show, including her Hunger Games prequel

Effie Returns to Panem

In The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Fanning plays Effie Trinket before Haymitch Abernathy becomes Katniss Everdeen’s mentor. Effie is a stylist tasked with preparing the District 12 tribute, played by Joseph Zada, for the 50th Hunger Games.

Effie’s effort to make Haymitch appealing to viewers is part of a system that turns children’s deaths into entertainment. Francis Lawrence directs the Suzanne Collins adaptation, which is scheduled to reach theaters on November 20, 2026.

Sisters in Occupied France

The Nightingale casts Fanning as Isabelle, an eighteen-year-old who joins the French Resistance, and her real older sister Dakota as Vianne. Set in Nazi-occupied France, the story places Isabelle’s determination beside Vianne’s worry about protecting her daughter.

The film is adapted from Kristin Hannah’s novel, in which a German captain takes over Vianne’s home while her husband is away at war. Michael Morris directs from a screenplay by Dana Stevens, and Sony has set a March 19, 2027 release.

A Law Firm Secret

In Discretion, Fanning plays Lenny, a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm. She discovers a secret involving nondisclosure agreements and faces conflict with her mentor. Nicole Kidman is also named in the cast as Sharon. The account does not provide further details about Sharon’s role.
