Mockingjay Part 2 invaded Comic Con 2015 with a much-anticipated final panel of The Hunger Games franchise on Thursday, July 9th. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Willow Shields, Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson took to Hall H to share some behind the scenes stories and in-depth discussion of Mockingjay Part 2 in a panel moderated by Conan O'Brien.
;)
The full panel is below:
If you don't have time to watch the entire thing, here's a recap:
The presentation opened with white-suited drummers and the new Mockingjay Part 2 propo clip, "Stand With Us." A new Mockingjay Part 2 trailer was also shown. We won't get a look at that until later this month, but CinemaBlend has a full description if you can't wait that long! Spoilers abound, obviously!
"Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol. Tonight, turn your weapons to Snow!"
;)
Jennifer Lawrence's favorite moment as Katniss from the franchise (after struggling a bit) "I volunteer as tribute." Eventually, she said her favorite moment is from Mockingjay Part 2 and didn't want to give the audience a spoiler.
;)
Josh Hutcherson called Peeta's return in MJ2 "a long road to recovery."
;)
Liam talked about great scene between Gale and Peeta that Jennifer was asleep for (think Tigriss' shop), and said "we have an emotional scene together and there might be a kiss between Josh and I." “He said no spoilers, man!” Josh replies. LOL.
;)
About the last day of filming the franchise, Jennifer repeated what she has said about the emotional day in past interviews, "There’s no way of saying this that doesn’t start rumors, but that night we held each other and slept like puppies.”
;)
Jennifer when Conan called her bow a crossbow: “First of all, it’s not a crossbow, it’s a longbow, crossbows are easy. I’m sorry, but all you have to do is pull a trigger. I didn’t spend months and months training so I could be called a crossbow-er.”
Liam Hemsworth said every time he tries to do the Mockingjay whistle it sounds like the X-Files theme. (Josh agrees). The cast attempted it together. Josh also did his infamous crickets.
;)
Jen let out a big toast baby spoiler about the epilogue - confirming what we kind of already knew. YAY!!! I'm not spoiling it here but you can probably guess.
;)
Liam gave Gale some real-life love advice. "It's all right, mate. Plenty of fish in the sea."
;)
;)
;)
When asked what Josh will miss most about the franchise, he points down the table.."You're lookin' at 'em. The cast starts to dramatically comfort him and Liam adds, "He's a sweet, sweet angel."
;)
“Anyone who loves the end of the book will love the end of the movie,” says director Francis Lawrence. Only doubly confirming our faith in Francis, Nina and the team's adaptation.
Conan was about to close the panel but Jen insisted on letting one more girl ask a question because, "Oh come on she's in the full blown Katniss outfit!"
;)
On saying goodbye to Katniss forever, Jennifer said, “I don’t really feel like it’s happened yet. It’s such a huge part of my life. These movies really did change my life.
“The people in my life are still...“ she turned to Josh and Liam. “You guys challenged me. And I love you. I think the changes that happened in my life from doing this movies are so permanent, I don’t think I’ll ever truly say goodbye to her. It’s a part of me.
;)
There was so much more, and we'll be updating this post with a full video as soon as one becomes available.
The panel closed out with another showing of the new Mockingjay Part 2 trailer, and then the cast moved on to a press conference and interviews.
;)

Never before have I felt so compelled to paint my face. Check out the EPIC new "Faces of The Revolution" Mockingjay Part 2 character posters and then excuse me while I go paint a big Mockingjay on my face with red lipstick..
;)
She is the rudder of our ship, the shepherd of our flock, our light in the darkness. A vision of strength and vitality, Katniss Everdeen is the symbol of hope that will lead us into the new Panem. She is the spark that lights this Revolution. She is the one that unites us all. She is the Mockingjay.
;)
We honor Peeta Mellark, as he stands for the enrichment of the body and soul of Panem. No stranger to sacrifice, the Baker’s son has never ceased to give even when he had none. So must we look to him as we build our communities and learn to thrive together.
;)
Synonymous with compassion and caregiving is the beloved Primrose Everdeen, sister of the Mockingjay. Not only does she possess the ability to heal our wounded and the kindness of heart to do so, she proves that patience and understanding are virtues we must all strive for. When we feel selfish, may we look to her for inspiration.
;)
Strategic thinking is our greatest defense against a surmounting threat. In Gale Hawthorne, we see a compassionate guardian, one who will safeguard the freedoms we stand for. Protection is what District 13 prides itself on, and something we must all honor as we march toward our brighter future.
;)
To members of the Revolution, Finnick Odair is a symbol of the love that binds us all. True love takes many forms; it has the power to motivate and the ability to unite. Finnick reminds us to keep our hearts open, so we may fill them with a reason to keep going.
;)
Strength, determination and vigor. As we look forward to the next chapter in Panem, we look to those equipped with the will to make it great. We salute, Johanna Mason, for her strong will, purposeful defiance and for never failing to stand up for what she believes in.
;)
We salute the visionary Cressida, for her unwavering dedication to the truth. Her commitment to capturing the world around us allows us to bear witness to the horrors we all face. We must seek the truth wherever we can, and in doing so become more honest and true.
;)
As we combat the forces against us, we must remember we are fighting for something larger than ourselves and our own lives. Boggs reminds us of the honor in the fight, the principles that fuel us and the loyalty that will define us. Here’s to Boggs, a true Pillar of the new Panem.
