The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes has reaped its first round of tribute and mentor characters! As you know, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes takes place within the Hunger Games universe, set roughly 64 years before the first book in the original trilogy.
Jerome Lance will play Marcus, the District 2 tribute who is mentored by (and has some history with) Sejanus Plinth. Ashley Liao (best known for Fuller House and Physical) will play Clemensia Dovecote, one of Coriolanus’s classmates and mentor to District 11's Reaper, who gets herself into a very slippery situation early in the festivities. Knox Gibson will play Bobbin, male tribute from District 8; Mackenzie Lansing (Mare of Eastown) will play Coral, the female tribute from District 4; and Aamer Husain will play Felix Ravinstill, the mentor to the female tribute from District 11, Dill.
