It's time to go back to The Hunger Games... or more fittingly back in time – to the 10th Hunger Games to be exact. It's been almost a decade since Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen saw the end of her harrowing journey as a tribute for District 12. Now, the prequel based on Suzanne Collins' 2020 novel is set to be brought to life with The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. You can check out the first trailer above.
As the first look at one of 2023 new movie releases sets up, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will follow a teen President Snow, played by Tom Blyth, long prior to his tyrannical reign. Before he terrorized the people of Panem and their symbol of resistance decades later, he was the mentor to one District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird, played by West Side Story and Shazam!: The Fury of the Gods actress, Rachel Zegler.
