'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' trailer, spoilers & update: epic battle to conclude in final movie
Lionsgate has released two trailers for the highly awaited finale, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2." Both 30-second trailers were released this week and are action-packed.
The first trailer, "Her Story" gives us a brief recap of how Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) came to be as simple girl from District 12 to Capitol darling after winning the 74th Hunger games and her transition to the revolution's "Mockingjay."
The second trailer, titled "Final Battle," shows District 13's president Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) introducing Katniss. It also gives a brief preview of the war in Panem.
"The Hunger Games" franchise is a movie adaptation based on the young adult novel trilogy of the same name by Suzanne Collins. The fourth and final film follows the second half of the 3rd book "Mockingjay" which will conclude the epic battle of the districts against the Capitol. Katniss Everdeen, together with her close friends, allies and fellow Hunger Game victors including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Finnick (Sam Claflin) along with District 13 soldiers go on a mission to assassinate President Snow (Donal Sutherland) who is bent on destroying her and her loved ones.
According to Teen Vogue, the movie's official Facebook account posted photos that may have given away crucial plot points. Non-book readers who may not be aware of what will happen in the last movie may be spoiled if they looked at the stills.
In some photos, we see Effie decked up in Capitol finery, reminiscent of how we first saw her in the first few movies. She has Katniss stand next to her also garbed in her final Mockingjay outfit. There's also a still of Katniss and Gale close together with their foreheads touching. As to which team will win - Team Peeta or Team Gale, it will be overshadowed in the full scale war that will happen soon as most of the photos show the characters armed to the teeth. If you want to know how the franchise will end, you can read the books or simply wait for the movie to come out.
'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' is directed by Francis Lawrence and produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik. Digital Spy reports that main stars Lawrence, Hemsworth and Hemsworth will join Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket in the movie), Woody Harrelson (Haymitch Abernathy), Natalie Dormer (Cressida) and Sam Claflin at London's Odeon Leicester Square for the movie premiere on Nov. 6.
