As a devoted Hunger Games fanatic who grew up with Katniss Everdeen and her thrilling adventures, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard about another prequel focusing on Haymitch Abernathy. The enigmatic President Snow is undoubtedly captivating, but the mysterious Lucy Gray Baird has always held a special place in my heart.
After the acclaimed prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, based on President Snow’s origins, another Hunger Games prequel is in the works, focusing on Haymitch Abernathy. Given the prominence of the former president in this story, it’s likely he will reappear on screen. However, there’s speculation about whether Lucy Gray, District 12’s victor prior to Haymitch, might make a comeback as well. But Rachel Zegler has shed some light on the matter.
At the conclusion of “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”, Lucy Gray’s whereabouts and survival are uncertain. She fled with Coriolanus Snow, deceiving him in order to slip away when his attention was elsewhere. It’s unclear if she lived beyond that moment, but I prefer to imagine she’s still alive and might reappear someday.
Given that Lucy Gray participated in the 10th Hunger Games and Haymitch was part of the 50th, could Rachel Zegler take on her role again for “Sunrise at the Reaping”? The actress from “Snow White” shared her candid thoughts with Cosmopolitan about this possibility.
I would die at the chance to come back as Lucy Gray Baird, but I am not included.
As a dedicated Hunger Games fan, I get why Lucy Gray Baird isn’t featured in the upcoming prequel. Her enigmatic ending adds a powerful emotional punch, and revealing her fate could lessen that impact. Yet, it’s intriguing to speculate that Sunrise on the Reaping might offer subtle hints about the 10th winner of The Hunger Games – Lucy Gray Baird.
It’s well-known that Rachel Zegler thoroughly enjoyed her experience within the realm of “The Hunger Games”. The actress’s beaming smile in the countless behind-the-scenes photos she posted spoke volumes about the fun she was having. To add to this, she has been a dedicated fan of the dystopian series since she watched the films at the cinema as a child. Furthermore, she was excited for viewers to have intense reactions to her movie just like she did when she first watched the original trilogy.
As a gaming enthusiast, I totally get where she’s coming from. She’d be thrilled to embody the character she admires so much, yet she seems content with whatever creative choices are being made. To add, this upcoming movie is set 40 years after the events of Songbirds and Snakes, meaning even if Lucy was in it, Zegler probably wouldn’t be playing her character.
Next up, let’s delve into the details of “The Hunger Games: Dawn of the Reaping”. Clearly, this installment will zero in on Haymitch, as he gets selected for the second round of the Quarter Quell. Moreover, Francis Lawrence, who has been at the helm of all “The Hunger Games” films except the first one, is currently in negotiations to direct this movie.
Currently, there’s uncertainty about which actor will assume the legendary character role previously played by Woody Harrelson in the original trilogy. However, enthusiasts are keeping their hopes high, as they’ve suggested Tom Glynn-Carney from “House of Dragon” and Tanner Buchanan from “Cobra Kai” for the role of Haymitch. Therefore, it promises to be thrilling to discover who will bring this long-anticipated “Hunger Games” story to life.
It seems quite likely that a fresh ensemble of performers will grace the screens in “Sunrise on the Reaping,” which has me genuinely pumped! The prospect of observing these newcomers breathe life into characters such as Haymitch and Snow is exhilarating. Although I’d adore Jennifer Zegler returning to play Lucy, it also promises an engaging twist to see a new actress step into her shoes.
I’m really looking forward to finding out who will star in the upcoming Hunger Games movie, and until then, I plan on re-watching Rachel Zegler in Songbirds and Snakes using my Starz subscription.
