It’s been 10 years since “The Hunger Games”Rue was first shown in theaters. But, during San Diego Comic-Con, Amandla Stenberg offered forgiveness to her fictional killer – and Jack Quaid couldn’t have been happier.
Stenberg and Quaid starred in the film as Rue and Marvel, respectively, and their characters certainly weren’t allies. In fact, it ended up being Quaid’s character who killed Rue, by throwing a spear directly into her torso. Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen quickly got revenge by immediately shooting him chest with an arrow – but still, fans were pretty devastated by his actions. Quaid has made fun of the situation over the years. In 2021, publicly apologize for it.
So Stenberg begrudge him at Comic-Con. Both actors joined E! News at their studio on-site, to promote their respective projects. Quaid was accompanied by his “Star Trek: Lower Decks”Co-stars, he received a video message of Stenberg. Watch it below.
“Oh Jack,”Quaid was startled by Stenberg’s words and began to panic when he realized from whom he was receiving a message. “It’s been so many years. And it’s taken me time to recover – sometimes I still get a jabbing pain through my abdomen, and I’m reminded of the time that you murdered me. But we all have our faults. And I forgive you.”
“Yes!”Quaid leapt from his seat to celebrate, exclaiming. “Yes! Thank you Amandla. Oh my god, people were spitting on me in the streets for years.”
Quaid then stepped up the drama, appearing to get emotional while encouraging his co-stars and continuing the discussion as he recovered.
