The movie is based on the 2020 book of the same name, which is set decades before the exploits of Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games.” That means the original franchise’s beloved heroine, a role that propelled Jennifer Lawrence to superstardom, does not appear in “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” which instead centers on the man who eventually becomes the tyrannical leader of the dystopia known as Panem.
“Tom Blyth is an explosive rising talent whose mesmerizing and charismatic presence makes him an exciting actor and perfect for this leading role,” said Erin Westerman, president of production, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. The first “Hunger Games” films began as Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute to take her younger sister’s place in the 74th annual Hunger Games. Along with Lawrence, the series featured Josh Hutcherson as Katniss’s rival and then lover, Liam Hemsworth as Katniss’s reliable bestie Gale Hawthorne, Woody Harrelson as former Hunger Games victor-turned-mentor Haymitch Abernathy, Elizabeth Banks as “May the odds be ever in your favor” orator Effie Trinket and Sutherland as President Coriolanus Snow.
