Lionsgate returns to The Hunger Games franchise this year for an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ prequel spinoff The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which tells the story of a young Coriolanus Snow before he became the tyrannical President of Panem.
We’ve already had the first look image above featuring new leads Tom Blyth (Billy The Kid) as Snow alongside Shazam! Fury of the Gods‘ Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird, and now the studio has unveiled a first teaser poster for the film which features the titular Songbird and Snake
THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favour. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.
