Civilisation ends in first trailer for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes tells us of the legendary game’s beginning and how one legend changed everything we know.

The odds may not necessarily be everyone’s favour here, but long-running franchise director Francis Lawrence (who directed the three sequels, Catching Fire and Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2) looks to have easily brought us back to District 12 after all these years, bringing a devilish Viola Davis along for the ride.

Starring Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Hunter Schafer and Peter Dinklage, the anticipated sequel to one of the most successful YA novel and film series of all time arrives in Australian theatres from November 16th, 2023.
