Fans got their first look at The Hunger Games: Catching Fire this week at Comic-Con, and Jennifer Lawrence dished on the emotional mindset of her character, leading lady Katniss. Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta in the film, also discussed the future of his character telling the audience that Peeta has “grown up a lot.”
“I think his undying love for Katniss is still his main driving force for what he's doing and why he's doing it," Hutcherson tells HitFix. "He really steps up in this movie and he kind of knows he has to fight harder than he did the last time, because more is on the line this time around."
"We long for each other so badly," Hutcherson adds. "We do miss each other, we're both in different parts of the world filming and stuff, so its hard to get to see each other.
Hutcherson and Lawrence joined director Francis Lawrence in San Diego for the Lionsgate trailer unveiling. There fans got their first peek into the trials that the 75th annual Quarter Quell will bring and also a look at tribute Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) and Johanna Mason (Jena Malone).
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters November 22.
