Tom Blythe and Rachel Zegler play the lead roles of Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray Baird in the newest Hunger Games film.

 

Since the trilogy of “The Hunger Games” ended, the prequel titled “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” was officially released November 17, 2023.  The main characters of this movie are not who you may expect, but young President Snow and a possible love interest.

 

In a never before seen perspective of this trilogy, President Snow returns to his youth.  The audience finally gets a peek into the earlier years of the games.  The film has done well in the theaters so far and is also trending on TikTok. 

 

Alongside the film, an amazing soundtrack has also been released.  Rachel Zegler is an amazing singer.  Her vocals can be heard in the previous film, specifically with the song “The Hanging Tree”.  She has also come out with new music, including one notable song titled “Nothing You Can Take from Me”. 

 

Overall, this film seems to be a hit and may even lead to more “Hunger Games” movies in the future.
