Yahoo Movies Watch the first trailer for the new Hunger Games movie
The odds are in our favour as the first trailer for new Hunger Games movie The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes has arrived, which you can check out above.
Set 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) at a time when his family has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol.
Coriolanus reluctantly signs up to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) from District 12 in the upcoming tenth Hunger Games. And when Lucy's charm wows the people of Panem, Coriolanus spots a chance to change his fate.
With his livelihood in the balance, Coriolanus teams up with Lucy to turn the odds in their favour, leading to a race against time to survive.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is directed by Francis Lawrence, who returned to the series for the fourth time, having directed Catching Fire and the two-part Mockingjay finale.
It also stars Peter Dinklage as co-author of the games Casca Highbottom, Jason Schwartzman as TV host Lucretius 'Lucky' Flickerman, Hunter Schafer as Coriolanus's cousin Tigris Snow and Viola Davis as head gamemaker Dr Volumnia Gaul.
Josh Andrés Rivera, Burn Gorman, Fionnula Flanagan, Ashley Liao, Michael Greco, Max Raphael, Zoe Renée and Daniela Grubert are also among the cast.
Earlier this year, Rachel Zegler revealed that she initially said no to the role in the new movie, although she "regretted it" as soon as she said it:
"I had another project lined up that fell through that got pushed into 2023 and I just kind of put my name back into the mix and got it, and I feel really bad for any of the girls [who when] I put my name back in and they were just like, 'Yup, OK, cool, we'll do it'."
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is released in cinemas on November 17.
