Peek Into The Trailers

Two official trailers have been released by Lionsgate Entertainment, giving glimpses into what the movie has to offer.

The first reveals young Snow, played by Blyth, transitioning into the role of a mentor for the 10th Hunger Games.

The trailer teases the audience with Snow’s interaction with the creator of the games, Casca Highbottom, and his subsequent journey as he mentors Lucy Gray Baird from District 12, portrayed by Ziegler.

Snow’s transformation from a mentor to a peacekeeper is also hinted.

Unraveling The Plot

Set 64 years before the events of the first “Hunger Games,” this prequel dives deep into the early life of Coriolanus Snow.

Lionsgate Entertainment describes the film, “As the last beacon of hope for the diminishing Snow lineage, young Coriolanus faces trials in a post-war Capitol. When Lucy Gray Baird from the poverty-stricken District 12 is under his mentorship, her charisma captivates the Panem audience, paving the way for an alliance. Together, they embark on a journey to turn the tides of fate. The film challenges Snow’s morality, questioning whether he will emerge as a songbird or a snake.”
