Producers Say Jennifer Lawrence Probably Won't Return to 'Hunger Games,' Despite Her Saying She'd Be Down

Jennifer Lawrence recently said she'd be down to revisit her Hunger Games character Katniss Everdeen, but according to a producer the chances are...slim.
Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment, franchise producer Nina Jacobson said Katniss Everdeen's return would depend on whether or not author Suzanne Collins writes another book:
"If Suzanne has something to say, then she'll write a book about it. Honestly, as much as I love Katniss, I think her story is complete. And I think that Suzanne feels that her story is complete. But if that changes, and Suzanne has something she wants to say, and it involves Katniss, then I would be thrilled. But really any chance to be back in this world, and lead with Francis and Suzanne, I would take regardless of who it was about."
Meanwhile, director Francis Lawrence added that “What I’ve always loved is that Suzanne usually writes these things because she has a thematic idea she wants to explore. So I think that if for whatever reason she had some thematic idea that made sense to tell another Katniss story, I’d be in, and then I’m sure Jen would be in. But it really all comes from theme and idea, and Suzanne.”
Back in June, JLaw was asked about returning to the franchise by Variety, and enthusiastically said “Oh, my God–totally! If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 percent.”
Meanwhile, JLaw just hung out with Balled of Songs & Snakes actor Rachel Zegler for the first time, who described her as "mother."
