The first full length trailer to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 has been released and director Francis Lawrence revealed how the sequel is different from the other installments, while Josh Hutcherson answered rumors of more sequels for the franchise.
An action packed trailer has been released for the final installment in the Hunger Games franchise. In the trailer, Katniss and her allies plan out how they enter the Capitol. As expected, President Snow continues to be the oppressor that he is and planted booby traps in almost every possible place in the Capitol.
Aside from that, President Snow has also prepared part-human, part-lizard creatures for Katniss and her allies, as reported by Christian Today. The trailer also shows floors caving in, explosions, and Katniss saying, "Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol... turn your weapons, to Snow."
According to the film's director, Francis Lawrence, the upcoming movie is thematically different. "It's thematically very different. ['Mockingjay - Part 1'] was about the manipulation of media and propaganda, and this one is a real war movie. Very quickly, we're getting out from the confines of District 13 and back out into the rest of Panem, including the Capitol. It's a very different kind of landscape." Lawrence said, as reported by Ecumenical News. Aside from that, the director also previously said that those who loved the movie will also like the upcoming film.
Meanwhile, Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta in the franchise has spoken about his comment in the Comic Con about having more sequels for the franchise. According to Vinereport, When asked about the rumored sequels, Hutcherson said in the conference, "There is..." However, the actor retracted what he said adding that he doesn't know anything yet and that fans should wait for official announcements.
The actor later added, "I'm sorry. No, I can't say that. I'm sorry," and also said that "We'll see what happens,".
Recently, Hutcherson was asked about the rumors in a recent interview where he said that he reportedly still do not know anything but he also added that he himself would like to play his character for longer.
However, the actor also said that if there are indeed plans of having more sequel to the franchise, it must be something that author Suzanne Collins created naturally. "It has to be something that she creates naturally. It's not just trying to make more movies out of it," the actor said.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 will be the final installment in the franchise that started in 2008, and it stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Donald Sutherland, and Elizabeth Banks among many others. It is set to hit theaters in November 20.
