Almost eight years to the day since the latter half of Mockingjay premiered in cinemas, the latest instalment of the Hunger Games film franchise is finally here.
Starring West Side Story actress Rachel Zegler and The Gilded Age's Tom Blyth, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is set to immerse a new generation of teens and young adults into Suzanne Collins' dystopian landscape.
