The date is set for the next games asHunger Games: The Ballad of Songbird and Snakesrolls out in the theaters soon. The prequel set 60 years before the events of the original movie chronicles the rise of President Snow from his humble beginnings as the last hope for his lineage after the war in the Capitol. The movie has garnered quite some buzz as the audience is excited to return to the arena with a new group of tributes.
To excite fans further, new character posters have been unveiled, which seem like they are right out of Panem. Each poster elaborates on the “hunger” that drives the character, as we seeTom Blyth’s Snow poster reads “Hunger for power,” which is followed by Lucy’s (Rachel Zegler) hunger for freedom, and Dean Casa’s (Peter Dinklage) hunger for Change, among others.
The retro posters give us a good understanding of the stakes for each character as we enter a new era of the games on the big screen. The movie has several interesting characters whose motives will provide ample twists and turns in the story. Helmed by franchise directorFrancis Lawrence, the movie follows Snow as he struggles with a newfound lust for politics. However, things change when he meets his new mentee,Lucy, and rather than turning her into a spectacle, he falls in love with her. The unfolding events will tell who’ll turn out to be the songbird and who’ll be the snake.
The new posters put focus on stars of the upcoming movie, revisiting faces we’re seen in trailers and promotional material likeViola Davis’ Dr. Gaul, and Dinklage’s Dean Highbottom– who are the gamemaker and creator of Hunger Games, respectively, and by the looks of it Snow and Lucy will be stuck in a web of schemes and lies. The movie also castHunter Schaferas Tigris Snow,Josh Andrés Riveraas Sejanus Plinth,Jason Schwartzmanas Lucretius “Lucky” Flickerman,Fionnula Flanaganas Grandma’am – Coriolanus and Tigris' strict grandmother, along withBurn Gormanas Commander Hoff, andAshley Liaoas Clemensia Dovecote and many more.you’re able to learn more about these characters here.
