When a movie franchise hits a natural conclusion, there can be a great deal of satisfaction when you finally see the end, but if it was a story that you love, there can also still be a desire to have more. The Hunger Games franchise reached its end, but there is a new story coming with the prequel movie The Ballad of Songbird and Snakes, and the first trailer showed us one specific nod to the original film, that Rachel Zegler says wasn’t in the original script.
If you've read the book then you know everything about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, including that it is set decades prior to the Hunger Games trilogy, and thus few of the characters that we know from the main series have even been born, but Rachel Zegler found a way to connect the two protagonists in her performance. The new trailer has a shot of Zegler bowing to the assembled masses when she is reaped, and the bow is reminiscent of a move Jenifer Lawrence made in the first film that's one of the trilogy's most memorable moments. Zegler admitted on Twitter that the bow was her decision.
