Elsewhere in the new trailer, Zegler’s rendition of “The Hanging Tree” song — which Lawrence sang in 2014’s “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1”, later landing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — is heard for the first time.
The track is one of several songs Zegler sings in the upcoming film. Adapted from author Suzanne Collins’s 2020 novel of the same name, “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” cast also includes Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Jason Schwartzman and Josh Andrés Rivera.
