Rachel Zegler, known for her role in West Side Story, has been cast as Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The film focuses on the early years of the Hunger Games and the character Lucy Gray's journey as a tribute.
When actor Rachel Zegler auditioned for the new Hunger Games film, she was asked to sing an acapella version of a song from 1860. Director Francis Lawrence said that Zegler was his first choice to play Lucy Gray Baird — one of two lead roles in The Hunger Games : The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. This film takes place 64 years before the original four films, where Lucy Gray is selected as her District's female tribute to compete in the 10th iteration of the brutal Hunger Games .
