\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The Hunger Games<\/em><\/strong><\/a> franchise director Francis Lawrence<\/strong><\/a> is confirming how that Rachel Zegler<\/strong><\/a> bow happened in the upcoming prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes<\/strong><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n The director has helmed all of the Hunger Games<\/em> movies, except the first one, and he confirmed in a recent interview that the moment was definitely a nod to Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s bow in the first film.<\/p>\n Check out what he said inside\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt was something that I made up on the day and had Rachel<\/strong> do, because we\u2019re constantly looking for, in the making of this, little sort of Easter eggs that would excite the fans,\u201d Francis<\/strong> told ET<\/a><\/em>. \u201cI thought, wow, this is really cool. If she does this then, you know, Katniss could have heard generations later about this kind of rebellious, irreverent act of this woman that was a singer and did this sort of bow curtsy at the reaping.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt just gives a different sort of meaning to Katniss\u2019 action,\u201d he adds, \u201cand I think that it\u2019s a really fun element of this movie, to get lots of those moments.\u201d <\/p>\n Rachel<\/strong>\u2018s bow moment was first seen in the first trailer back in April<\/a>, and fans immediately noticed the parallel between her Lucy and Jennifer<\/strong>\u2018s Katniss.<\/p>\n After the trailer was released, Rachel<\/strong> tweeted to a fan that it was an \u201cad lib,\u201d<\/a> and now we know, it was an Easter Egg that the director added in while filming.<\/p>\n If you missed it, the costume designer for the upcoming prequel dished on the reference to Katniss <\/a>in Lucy Gray Baird\u2019s wardrobe.<\/p>\n RELATED<\/strong>: <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
