Hollywood actress Rachel Zegler is known for her soulful singing voice and stupendous acting prowess, but as she delves into a fan-favourite franchise for the very first time, will she emerge a victor? All set to star as the eloquent Lucy Gray Baird in Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Zegler opens up about bringing the character to life. Alongside award winners Viola Davis and Peter Dinklage, the film also sees Tom Blyth, Hunter Schafer, Josh Anders Rivera and Jason Schwartzman in titular roles and will hit theatres near you on 17th November.
Talking about her character, Rachel Zegler said, “The words that come to my mind are ‘mercurial’ and ‘witty’. The way I approached Lucy Gray was that she was only there for her family, her friends, and herself. That’s why her relationship with Coriolanus is so interesting. We’re led to believe, by the lyrics of her songs, that she’s been wronged by many people, particularly by men. So, she is hesitant to trust, and challenges Snow to rise to her level of intimidation.”
Further adding on, the actor also said, “Lucy Gray starts to see what it’s like to put someone else’s needs before her own, and she’s living with her whole heart. But when she starts to see traits in Coriolanus that she may not find trustworthy, she must put herself first and make impossible decisions.”
Lionsgate and PVRINOX Pictures will release The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in theatres in India on November 17, 2023.
