Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence says she’s ready to return to the role of Katniss Everdeen from “The Hunger Games” franchise.
Speaking with Variety on a Zoom video interview yesterday whilst promoting her new R-rated coming-of-age comedy “No Hard Feelings,” Lawrence was asked about the potential for her return to the role.
She said: “Oh, my God – totally! If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100%.” She then looked off-camera and remarked: “My producing partner just clutched her heart.”
Lawrence played the leading role across four films released annually from 2012-2015. Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Mahershala Ali, Lenny Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone Natalie Dormer and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman co-starred.
Gary Ross helmed the original with the following three directed by Francis Lawrence, who is returning with this Fall’s prequel film “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes”, set decades before the events of the tetralogy which chronicles Coriolanus Snow’s rise to power to become President of Panem.
“No Hard Feelings” is a raunchy comedy starring Lawrence as a 32-year-old Uber driver hired by a wealthy couple (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) to date and seduce their 19-year-old son (Andrew Barth Feldman) to help him get out of his shell.
The Lawrence-led “No Hard Feelings” opens in cinemas on June 23rd. It follows a 32-year-old Uber driver hired by a wealthy couple (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) to date and seduce their 19-year-old son (Andrew Barth Feldman) to help him get out of his shell before heading off to college.
