Is Jennifer Lawrence, who played Katniss Everdeen in the original Hunger Games movies, appearing in any capacity (even a cameo or uncredited appearance) in the prequel film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, considering it takes place decades before the events of the first Hunger Games book/movie where Katniss Everdeen’s story begins? And if she’s not appearing, is there any indication or rumour that she was ever considered for any role, even a completely different character, in the prequel?

Answer

No, Jennifer Lawrence is not in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” The movie is a prequel, set decades before the events of the original “Hunger Games” trilogy, and focuses on a young Coriolanus Snow. Lawrence played Katniss Everdeen in the original films, a character who is not yet born during the timeline of the prequel.
