The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes features a lot of callbacks to the original film.
Picking up 64 years prior, the prequel tells the origin story of Coriolanus Snow (played by Tom Blyth), as he is called in to mentor District 12’s Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) in the 10th annual Hunger Games. Packed across its bumper runtime are everything from Easter eggs to shared characters, as audiences are thrown into a new period of Panem’s history. But with so much crossover, some viewers have been wondering just how connected the two are.
