The Hunger Games movies cut a significant character from the books who, though he wasn't named, carried important themes from Katniss' story into the prequel novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake. Though Katniss and her immediate family aren't characters in the prequel, which is receiving a film adaptation on November 17, 2023, the story draws connections with their life in District 12. However, with a member of Katniss' family left out of the Hunger Games movies, these connections might be lost to movie audiences.
