While Jennifer Lawrence was speaking to Variety to promote her new comedy, "No Hard Feelings," there's a good reason why she was asked about "The Hunger Games" during the chat as well. After all, the upcoming prequel, "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," is set to release on November 17th, 2023, and is one of the most anticipated films of the year.
Though Katniss won't be a part of the story (her character has yet to even be born during the events of the prequel), the actor was nonetheless enthusiastic about possibly reprising the role of her resistance-leading heroine. "If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 percent," she said.
Still, it sounds like Lawrence isn't the only one excited about the prospect of her taking on the role of Katniss Everdeen again. "My producing partner just clutched her heart," Lawrence said during the interview. Well, if Lionsgate, who is and has been the distributor for all five films, is listening, we can imagine that their ears probably just perked up in a very big way.
