Hunter Schafer to Star in 'The Hunger Games' Prequel
The actor will take on the role of Tigris Snow, Coriolanus’ cousin and confidant.
Euphoria‘s Hunter Schafer is joining the cast of The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor will portray Tigris Snow, “Coriolanus’ (Tom Blyth) cousin and confidant, who advises him in everything — from his role as mentor to the core of his moral compass.” Schafer will also star alongside Rachel Zegler, who will take on the role of Lucy Gray, a tribute from District 12. The upcoming film’s logline from Lionsgate reads:
“Years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird and a snake.”
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will premiere in theaters worldwide on November 17, 2023. Stay tuned while we wait for more details.
