The HungerGames prequel, TheBalladofSongbirdsandSnakes, has gotten a major casting update with 11 new actors joining the film. Among the roster of new stars include Lost alum Fionnula Flanagan and Halo's Burn Gorman.
The Hunger Games prequel movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, has added Fionnula Flanagan and 10 other actors in a huge casting update. Based on the book of the same name, the film is set to hit theaters on November 17, 2023 and take place around 64 years before the original quadrilogy. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will star Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler as Coriolaus Snow and Lucy Gray Baird, with the prequel following Snow’s origins and ascent to president of Panem.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes first look has already revealed Blyth and Zegler as Coriolaus and Lucy, with the prequel focusing on their complicated relationship as a Hunger Games tribute mentor and Hunger Games tribute, respectively. With development of the film announced in 2019, it will have to work to redeem the less well-received Mockingjay movies, which saw a gradual decline in reviews and box office returns.
While The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes may have to out-do itself to overcome the shadow of the Mockingjay movies, it has the upper hand in worldbuilding compared to the orignal Hunger Games as a prequel that further explores Panem’s history. The movie will also face the challenge of balancing its romance with its transformation of Snow into Panem’s ruthless president, with the story likely hitting a different tone than the previous Hunger Games movies just as the book does.
Though some may be skeptical of the movie because of the previous films, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' major casting update should help build some excitement for fans of the franchise. With a whole host of talented people bringing the prequel movie to life, including Lost alum Fionnula Flanagan, it will be interesting to see how the film fares in comparison to its predecessors.
