With The Hunger Games beginning its story with the 74th year of the titular event, there has been, and still is, much room to expand the cinematic universe. The upcoming Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping will detail the 50th Games that Haymitch Abernathy won, while The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes covered the tenth-ever Games, and acted as a backstory for the villainous President Snow (Tom Blyth).

Back in his youth, the future dictator was portrayed as a struggling, less fortunate underdog fighting against the odds to restore glory to his family. However, the snake's true colours were shown by the end of the film. 

The story was peppered throughout with little details that gave Snow reason to despise District 12 decades before Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) was ever born, the biggest of which was Rachel Zegler's Lucy Gray Baird. She was his first-ever tribute as a mentor in the Games, and they fell in love, ultimately running away together in the woods of District 12.

However, Snow had killed several people throughout this episode of his life, and in something of a wave of paranoia, he realised that Lucy Gray was a loose end who could tell anyone about it. All of a sudden, he decided he didn't trust her and began hunting her through the trees despite being in love with her ten minutes earlier. Snow found no trace of Lucy, and after he moved back to District 2 to finish his Officer training, the movie ended without any closure on exactly what happened to Lucy Gray next.
