Previous Movie Recap
The last entry in the franchise was The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. That storyline focused on an eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow during the 10th Hunger Games. Snow acted as a Capitol mentor for Lucy Gray Baird from District 12. He fell in love with her and secretly cheated to help her win.
However, Capitol officials caught his cheating and punished him by making him a Peacekeeper. His growing ambition and paranoia eventually caused him to betray his closest friends. He ultimately turned against Lucy Gray to regain power. The film concluded with Snow beginning his dark rise toward becoming Panem’s future dictator.
