Lionsgate has brought us the new trailer for the upcoming franchise finale, THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 2. You can see the official synopsis and trailer below.
Official Synopsis:
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 2 now brings the franchise to its powerful final chapter in which Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) realizes the stakes are no longer just for survival – they are for the future.
With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.

Reaction:
This undoubtedly an exciting trailer. It’s great to see all the familiar faces and get small glimpses of the closing chapter to this franchise. Hopefully, it’s much better than the letdown that was PART 1, and I’m sure it is.
The film will be released in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D theaters on November 20.
