Jennifer Lawrence is best known for Hunger Games
Jennifer Lawrence earned instant success and global stardom ever since she starred as Katniss Everdeen in the popular franchise Hunger Games.

Ever since the Hunger Games prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was announced, there have been theories flying around that Jennifer Lawrence would appear as Katniss’ Grandma. However, the Silver Linings Playbook actress finally hit back at all the trolls and ageist comments. When asked in an interview, whether she would be back in the prequel as Katniss’ Grandma, Lawrence replied,
“Oh, ’cause I’m 49 in Hollywood years, huh?…No, that’s not true.”
In a separate interview, Lawrence mentioned how she feels too old to know that a 21-year-old actor would essentially be replacing her, recalling how she was the same age when she was first cast. Even though we might never have Lawrence back as Katniss Everdeen, it would have been great to see her in the Hunger Games universe once again.

The prequel, based on the book of the same name, would focus on the story of the Hunger Games‘ main antagonist Coriolanus Snow. Concentrated on the young Snow, it would show how he went on to become the tyrannical and evil President of Panem.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes would release on November 17, 2023.
