The director of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes revealed that a recognizable Hunger Games callback was not scripted.In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, director Francis Lawrence said that he and Rachel Zegler improvised her deep curtsy — a nod to Katniss Everdeen. “It was something that I made up on the day and had Rachel do, because we’re constantly looking for, in the making of this, little sort of Easter eggs that would excite the fans,” said Lawrence. In the first Hunger Games film, also directed by Lawrence, Katniss curtsies after her attempt to showcase her archery skills goes unnoticed by the game makers. She then takes it upon herself to shoot the apple in their roast pig — a dramatic, rebellious and dangerous act that ultimately benefits her. In the trailer for A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Zegler’s character Lucy Gray Baird sarcastically bows when she is called to represent District 12.Although Katniss’ appearance and defiant attitude was a cultural phenomenon before Lucy, canonically Lucy came long before Katniss did. A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is once again based on a Suzanne Collins novel, but this time as a prequel to the original trilogy. In the upcoming movie, Rachel Zegler’s Lucy acts opposite Tom Blyth’s young Coriolanus Snow. The film follows the 10th annual Hunger Games, with Snow as a mentor to Lucy. A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes shows Snow as he tries to make his way to the top of The Capitol, but his complex relationship with the charismatic and flamboyant Lucy holds him back. Lawrence has previously stated that the most difficult part of making the movie was humanizing Snow, knowing that audiences’ only prior experience with him was as a merciless tyrant in Katniss’ era.The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes Trailer Explores the World of Panem
