Jennifer Lawrence, the main star of the dystopian four-part movie "The Hunger Games," has spoken about presidential candidate Donald Trump.

As "The Hunger Games: Mockingay Part 2" draws near, Lawrence, 25, together with her lead co-stars Liam Hemsworth, 25, and Josh Hutcherson, 22, came to the topic of the upcoming presidential campaign in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Lawrence likened presidential hopeful Trump to that of the Capitol's President Snow.

"If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world," said Lawrence.

Hemsworth agrees and "backs up" the 25-year-old. Meanwhile, Hutcherson found Trump's campaign to be "unreal" to which he said: "It's a publicity stunt. It can't be real."

"I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment," Lawrence added. "It's either that or it's Hillary's brilliant idea.

"I was watching him on the campaign trail and one guy said, 'I love Donald Trump because he's saying everything I'm thinking and I just can't say it because of the PC factor.' And I'm thinking, 'You are absolutely right. That's who I want representing my country, somebody politically incorrect. That will just be perfect.'"

On Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports that the final poster for the last installment of the franchise was released. The image shows Lawrence holding her signature bow and arrow, with the Mockingjay behind her being surrounded by flames.

In the trailer for Part 2, we see Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) and President Snow (played by Donald Sutherland) having a conversation in a greenhouse filled with Snow's white roses. This is a very significant scene as this is where the final confrontation of the Mockingjay and Snow is held after the Capitol has fallen.

In another article by Entertainment Weekly, director Francis Lawrence shared how he put together the scene.

"I think of it as being Old World elegance in this new world [of Panem]," Lawrence said.

He revealed that the outside shots of the greenhouse were taken from a hâteau in the town of Rambouillet, Paris. Meanwhile, the interiors were filmed in a soundstage in Atlanta and filled with white roses. As for the snow outside the greenhouse, it was all thanks to CG.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" is due to be released in theaters on Nov. 20 in the US.
