Jennifer Lawrence is Open To Playing Katniss Again in THE HUNGER GAMES Franchise

Jennifer Lawrence is open to returning to the role of Katniss again in The Hunger Games franchise. This is a role that launched her career into another stratosphere and turned her into a bonafide A-list star. But, she did play this character for so long, you’d think she wouldn’t want to revisit the franchise after all the time she already put into it, but that’s not the case!

If she was asked to come back and reprise her role in a Hunger Games sequel, she’s ready to sign up! When asked about this during an interview with Variety, she said: “Oh, my God – totally! If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 percent.”

She then looked off-camera and said: “My producing partner just clutched her heart.” As far as I know, there aren’t any plans in place for a Hunger Games sequel, but there is a prequel film coming titled The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. But, if they did make a sequel that continued the story of Katniss, I’m sure that fans would jump on board and get excited about it.

In the new prequel film, “a young Coriolanus who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from the impoverished District 12,” reads the synopsis. “But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.”

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is being helmed by franchise director Francis Lawrence and will be released in theaters on November 17th, 2023.
