The new tribute from Panem book has been published and tells with devastating beauty of Haymitch’s story. After reading, all fans who are looking forward to the upcoming film adaptation in 2026 also have a reason to be happy: If the adaptation sticks close to their template, a reunion with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen has just become very likely.
Attention, spoilers follow the novel The tribute of Panem L. The day is on *.
So Jennifer Lawrences Katniss Everdeen can return in the new hunger Games film
The last film to the hunger Games World of Author Suzanne Collins came to the cinema a year and a half ago: The tribute of Panem-The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes did not bring any known star faces, not least because the story played a tribute at the time of the 10th hunger, i.e. 64 years before Katniss’. At that time most well -known characters were not yet born and the few returnees were much younger, which is why they were filled again.
The recently published new story is also a prequel. 24 years before Katniss’ first hunger games, for the anniversary of the 50th death spectacle, Katniss was still not alive as the main character of the first four films. Instead, a young Haymitch Abernathy becomes the main character of the dystopian struggle for survival. So is there again no reunion with the mockingjay? Anyone who has already read the novel knows better: Jennifer Lawrence can officially return in the new film.
How is that possible? Through the epilogue of the new tribute from Panem book. On the last two sides we experience one after the 50th hunger games Time jump to the era after the Capitol’s overthrow. So we get an insight into Haymitch’s life a quarter of a century later, in which Katniss also appears again and gives him a few goose eggs for hatching. They are now as narrow as family members and he has told her for a “memorial book” his own hunger game story.
After Jennifer Lawrence had already expressed in the past that they were on the right opportunity “100 % ready” be to let Katniss back into her life, that sounds like a reunion that is close to your grasp, right?
Not only Katniss, we could also meet these tributes of Panem actors again
The final book scene in District 12 does not only indicate a possible return of Jennifer Lawrence. Also Woody Harrelson Could again in the role of older Haymitch slip. And even diving as an icing on the cake Peeta on, builds a breeding box for Haymitch’s goose chicks and also opens up Josh Hutcherson The chance to return to Katniss’ side. The novel connects to the end, with which Mockingjay (part 2) left us back and Hutcherson already explained publicly: “I would love to play Peeta again.”
In the book The Hunger Liam L’s tribute also appear on other well -known figures at the time of Haymitch’s hunger games. Because of the great time distance, it is likely that characters such as Effie (Elizabeth Banks) and Beteteee (Jeff Wright) will be filled with younger stars, while President Snow actor Donald Sutherland has already died.
When does the new Panem film tribute start in the cinema?
Haymitch’s hunger games are no longer that far away. Already on November 19, 2026 The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping celebrate his theatrical release. So just a year and a half after the publication of the novel. The filmmakers around Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson were able to look into history beforehand, which is why the search for new stars (such as a young Haymith) has long since started. However, nobody has been officially announced.
