The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 trailer was released on Monday, giving fans of the popular franchise the first look at the highly-anticipated third movie.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Trailer

The Mockingjay – Part 1 trailer begins with a voiceover from Katniss (Jennifer Laawrence) in which she says, “I never wanted any of this. I never wanted to be in the Games. I just wanted to save my sister and keep Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) alive. It’s soon revealed that Katniss is saying this in a video chat to President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

“Miss Everdeen, it’s the things we love most that destroy us,” Snow ominously replies.

Following the tense exchange, the trailer shows snippets of the action to come in the film – Katniss and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) preparing for war in District 13, the shooting down Capitol aircrafts, Peeta delivering a message on the Capitol’s behalf and Katniss threatening to leave behind her role as the Mockingjay if Plutarch Heavensbee (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) don’t make every effort to save Peeta from the Capitol’s grasp.

Woody Harrelson (Haymitch), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket), Jeffrey Wright (Beetee) and Stanley Tucci (Caesar Flickerman) all make an appearance in the trailer as well.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is slated to hit theaters Nov. 21.
