The trailer of ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ has been unveiled. The film, which stars Tom Blyth, Hunter Schafer, Rachel Zelger, Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, Josh Andres Rivera and Jason Schwartzman, follows the story of 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow during the tenth annual Hunger Games as he reluctantly mentors Lucy, a tribute from District 12.

It is headlined by Emmy Award winner Peter Dinklage of ‘Game of Thrones‘ fame and Academy Award winner Viola Davis with the lead, and Tom Blyth, set to take over the mantle from Donald Sutherland to embody a younger Coriolanus Snow.

In conversation with the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, Rachel Zegler opened up about how she initially turned down the role of Lucy: “Let me tell you because it’s such an embarrassing story for me. I was offered the role in January of last year after wanting it so badly. I didn’t audition, it was just, I got a call from my agent that was like ‘Francis Lawrence (‘The Hunger Games’ franchise director) wants you to do this’.”
