After a previous teaser featuring Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) in Capitol captivity, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) finally makes her appearance in a trailer for the Mockingjay: Part 1.
In the new Mockingjay: Part 1 teaser, Plutarch Heavensbee (the late
Philip Seymour Hoffman) and President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) discuss the best way to convince Katniss to become the Mockingjay, the symbol of the Panem districts' rebellion against the Capitol. Their discussion comes as Katniss revisits her native District 12, which the Capitol, the Hunger Games' authoritarian government, has destroyed. To complete the mood, Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat" plays in the background.
