‘Hunger Games’ Producers Rule Out Jennifer Lawrence Return

Jennifer Lawrence is unlikely to return to The Hunger Games.

The 33-year-old star portrayed Katniss Everdeen within the first 4 films of the dystopian sci-fi movie franchise however producer Nina Jacobson says her return depends on creator Suzanne Collins writing a brand new novel that includes her alter ego.

Jacobson advised Yahoo! Entertainment: “If Suzanne has something to say, then she’ll write a book about it … Honestly, as much as I love Katniss, I think her story is complete. And I think that Suzanne feels that her story is complete.”

She added: “But if that changes, and Suzanne has something she wants to say, and it involves Katniss, then I would be thrilled. But really any chance to be back in this world, and lead with Francis (Lawrence) and Suzanne, I would take regardless of who it was about.”

The franchise returns to the massive display screen later this month with the prequel movie The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Lawrence expressed hope earlier this yr that she may make a return.

Asked concerning the prospect by Variety, the No Hard Feelings star mentioned: “Oh, my God – totally! If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 per cent.

Rachel Zegler stars as protagonist Lucy Gray Baird in the prequel and director Francis Lawrence explained that she is the “anti-Katniss.” The filmmaker advised Empire Magazine: “Katniss was an introvert and a survivor. She was quite quiet and stoic, you could almost say (she was) asexual. Lucy Gray is the opposite. She wears her sexuality on her sleeve, (and) she really is a performer.”
