Although the rights to the novel have not yet been sold, there is speculation that they will be sold soon. The previous Hunger Games films were produced by Lionsgate. The five adaptations have collectively grossed over $3.3 billion worldwide.
Jenna Malone She played the role of Johanna Mason in three parts of the popular franchise: “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and two installments of “Mockingjay”. In a recent interview, she was asked, whether she thinks Johanna could return in one of the new films.
“Come on, where’s Johanna Mason? I’m waiting!” – she replied in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, adding: “I mean, it wouldn’t even have to be a prequel, it could be an after. Basically, let’s see what will happen 10 years later,” she said.
Malone is enthusiastic about possibly reprising the series. She continued her interview by discussing possible scenarios. “Where is the government? Where have we gotten to with the revolution? I think that’s a really important part of our society. You can rebel, but how do you rebuild yourself?” she continued.
