The first look has arrived for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes star Rachel Zegler's new film, Y2K.
A sneak peek at Y2K shows Zegler with co-stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong) and Jaeden Martell (Knives Out and It) in a disaster comedy set against the millennium panic in 1999.
The film takes place at a high school party crashed by two juniors, who end up having to fight for their lives when an unexpected crisis occurs.

Rachel will also be starring in Netflix's musical adventure film Spellbound, where she will play a princess who must save her kingdom from a mystical curse.

She most recently played the heroic Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and the goddess Anthea in Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
No wide release date for Y2K has been announced yet.
