Welcome back to Panem,Hunger Gamesfans!

Nearly five months afterdropping the first teaser, Lionsgate released an intense new trailer for the upcoming prequel film,The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, starringTom Blythas 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow andRachel Zegler区12露西灰色Baird表示敬意。针对by Francis Lawrence, the adaptation ofSuzanne Collins's novelwill follow a different group of tributes at the tenth annual Hunger Games. And fortunately for fans, the movie will hit theaters on November 17.

In case you need a refresher, the originalHunger Gamestrilogyrevolves around Katniss Everdeen, a District 12 tribute who competes in the 74th Hunger Games and sparks a rebellion against the corrupt Capitol.The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, however, is set 64 years before these events, when a much younger Coriolanus is tasked with mentoring Lucy Gray in the tenth annual Hunger Games.

In the trailer, which opens with a familiar ballad, there are several clips of the televised spectacle, and quite a few Easter eggs that fans will recognize, from Coriolanus's signature white rose to Sutherland's famous phrase, "It's the things we love most that destroy us." (If you recall, President Snow said this exact line to Katniss inMockingjay Part 2.) The three-minute promo also features Viola Davis as head game maker Volumnia Gaul and Peter Dinklage as Casca Highbottom, the school dean.
