The film’s ending certainly leaves room for many different sequels down the road. Notably, there could be a sequel about Lucy Gray andwhat happened to her after her confrontation with Snow.
“Part of what’s interesting is bringing her in here — selling her as this sister figure, the cousin, how much love they have between the two of them — and then you think of the time jump [toMockingjay – Part 2] and how she’s actually helping them go after him and kill him,” Lawrence added. “I think there’s a really interesting shift there as well as obviously the physical transformation, too.”

“I liked being part of the series originally because the stories are great,“Lawrence told EW. “But what was always gratifying was that they were always about something. Suzanne always writes from a thematic foundation. The original ones were all about the consequences of war. [Songbirds and Snakesis] about the state of nature. That’s what makes them feel rich and not superficial, and I think it’s why they’ve stood the test of time, honestly.”
Lawrence continued, “If Suzanne has another thematic idea that she feels fits into the world of Panem — whether that’s with new people [or] familiar characters [like] Finnick, Haymitch, whoever — I’d be really interested in looking at it and being a part of it. But I don’t have any pull of just going, ‘I would love to do Finnick’s games.’ He’s a great character, but what’s the thematic underpinnings that make it worth telling and relevant?”
