Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth took the stage at Hall H for the last time to promote the final Hunger Games film and debut a brand new teaser for Mockingjay Part 2.
The Hunger Games took over Comic-Con on Thursday as part of the Lionsgate panel in Hall H to talk about the final film in the franchise and debut some new footage. The panel debuted a new teaser, which gives fans a sneak peek at Katniss in her red Mockingjay suit, and the first full-length trailer.
Conan O’Brien moderated the panel, which featured stars Lawrence (Katniss), Hutcherson (Peeta), Hemsworth (Gale), Willow Shields (Prim) and director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson.
The entire group expressed their sadness at the end of The Hunger Games series, but also noted their excitement at the final film, Mockingjay Part 2. Hutcherson and Hemsworth teased that both their characters would be more heavily featured in Mockingjay Part 2, and even share some scenes together. “We have a great scene together,” Hemsworth said, joking that the two might share a kiss. “They said no spoilers, man!” Hutcherson responded.
Director Francis Lawrenced promised fans of the original books that they wouldn’t be disappointed by the conclusion to the film franchise, saying, “Anyone who loves the end of the book will love the end of the movie.”
Finally, before leaving the stage, Hutcherson took the time to give a shout out to all their loyal fans, especially those that have filled up Hall H all these years. “We’ve been doing these now for four years and the fans have been the best. We’re so tired on these press tours and you guys show up with this energy and support and we appreciate it more than anything. Just thank you so much,” he said, throwing in a Mockingjay salute.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 will be released in theaters on Nov. 20.
