While the initial response to a Hunger Games reboot seemed to be more frowned upon, the promotion has convinced most fans about the potential of the film and that of Rachel Zegler, the lead actress in the prequel film. But still, some fans are not open to the idea of a new Hunger Games.

This led X (formerly Twitter) into a space of divided opinions, where many fans expressed their interest and others their distrust about The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
