"Mockingjay" Part 1 and 2 are set to be released in 2014 and 2015.
Until then, fans are feeling the excitement for the next film that will be officially out in theater in November.
Jennifer Lawrence, who stars in the "Hunger Games" series as Katniss Everdeen, recently opened up to Vogue about the vulnerability her character is dealing with in the next installment of the film.
"When Winter's Bone was getting nominated," says Lawrence, "I had only done indies, and suddenly I was introduced to this brand-new world where I didn't feel like myself. I was in these weird gowns and listening to people talk about things I didn't understand. And I remember reading that in the book and being like, Oh, my God, I know exactly what this feels like.
I don't know what it's like to get ready for your death, but I do know what it's like to be almost a puppet. And then when I was making the second film, I had become more acquainted with that world, and I think that's something that Katniss experiences. She is different when she comes back. She does feel more comfortable in the Capitol; she understands the people more, and it's not as eerie and scary and unfamiliar. She kind of knows how to work the system."
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" will be released to theaters on Nov. 22.
