Jennifer Lawrence is DONE with Hunger Games: Producer says Katniss’ story is ‘complete’ and writer has no plans to expand on role

Jennifer Lawrence is unlikely to return to The Hunger Games.

The 33-year-old star played Katniss Everdeen in the first four films of the dystopian sci-fi film franchise, but producer Nina Jacobson says her return is dependent on author Suzanne Collins writing a new novel starring her alter ego.

Jacobson told Yahoo Entertainment: ‘If Suzanne has something to say, she writes a book about it.

“Honestly, as much as I love Katniss, I think her story is complete. And I think Suzanne feels like 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 very happy.

“But really, any opportunity to be back in this world and lead Francis (Lawrence) and Suzanne, I would take it, no matter who it was.”

The franchise returns to the big screen later this month with the prequel film ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ and Jennifer expressed hope earlier this year that she could return.

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

‘My production partner clutched her heart.’

Rachel Zegler stars as Lucy Gray Baird in the prequel, and director Francis Lawrence explained that she is the “anti-Katniss.”

The filmmaker told 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 carries her sexuality with her, (and) she is truly a performer.”
