And while nobody ever really wins the games, the trilogy’s cast did score lifelong friendships, with Francis noting they’re still close eight years after the premiere of Mockingjay Part Two. “I love everybody from the other movies,” the director added. “Still friends with most of them. And this group also bonded.”

And on Nov. 17, fans can see that bond in action as the film’s mix of newer and veteran actors tell the origin story of the future President Coriolanus Snow.

During his very first Hunger Games, 18-year-old Coriolanus is tasked to be mentor to District 12’s tribute, Lucy Gray Baird. What follows is a haunting, easter-egg laden story of friendship, love and betrayal that shows not only how the Games became what they did, but also Snow himself, laying the foundation for his and Katniss’ showdown 60 years later.
