Katniss Everdeen is ready to take on the Capitol once again as Lionsgate released the latest ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2’ poster, which clearly brings bad news to President Snow.
Portrayed by Donald Sutherland, Snow has been wreaking discreet terror on Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, and the rest of Panem over the years. As the story began with the ‘Girl on Fire’ putting herself forward as a replacement for her younger sister Primrose in the Hunger Games, it is expected that worse circumstances will come to pass for the president who is to blame for it all.
In ‘Mockingjay: Part 1’, Katniss and the Rebels were able to haul out their captives from the Capitol, although there were grave consequences.
Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) and Annie Cresta (Stef Dawson) somehow survived in a better shape as compared to the weak and unwell Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) who was brainwashed to turn against Katniss.
With one last stand against the Capitol, ‘Mockingjay: Part 2’ shows Katniss leading a team of rebels to capture Snow while avoiding unfortunate events as the city transforms itself to an arena-like site filled with vicious creatures, soldiers and traps.
Director Francis Lawrence opened up about the second ‘Mockingjay’ film being more action-packed, describing it to be more of a war movie compared to its predecessor.
When it comes to the relationship between Katniss and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), Lawrence opened up about wanting to see them grow even closer. She believes that the duo has a strong history together that was not deeply explored in the movies.
The Oscar-winning actress also pointed out that Gale remains to be the only character in the book who has a genuine understanding of who Katniss really is.
"After the games, she [Katniss] and Peeta had this experience together that no one else, including Gale, could ever understand. She and Gale are in a very interesting place and it was nice to explore more of that and go deeper into that," the actress said.
Aside from Lawrence, Hemsworth and Hutcherson reprising their roles, other cast members who will be back include Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks and Jeffrey Wright.
Fans can also look forward to new cast members, such as ‘Game of Thrones’ star Gwendoline Christie as Commander Lyme and ‘True Blood’ actress Michele Forbes as Lt. Jackson.
'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2' has been set to hit theaters on November 20.
