'Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2' Spoilers: 'Game of Thrones' Actress Joins Cast [VIDEO]
An Entertainment Weekly report recently noted and highlighted the presence of Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie in the Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 trailer.
The actress, who is known for her role as Brienne of Tarth in the HBO series, is playing a part in the final chapter of the Hunger Games movies. EW revealed that Christie will be portraying Commander Lyme, who is from District 2 and one of the leaders of the rebellion against the Capitol. Christie snagged another coveted gig, when she signed on to play the part of Captain Phasma in the upcoming Star Wars movie.
In related news, the promotional activity for Mockingjay Part 2 is on a roll. After the recently released trailer, and new posters for the film, fans are looking forward to the movie being presented at Comic Con in San Diego on July 9. Deadline has reported that never-seen-before footage from the film will be unveiled at the event.
War is announced in the trailer for the film, as Katniss leads her rag tag band featuring Gale (Liam Helmsworth), Finnick, portrayed by Sam Claflin, and Messalla, played by Evan Ross.
The video starts with celebration and a wedding with Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) by Katniss's side, but things quickly slide into Katniss' war song.
"Snow has to pay for what he has done," Katniss says in the clip.
She then proceeds to call on the people to join forces with her, and they are seen filling out into the city square.
"We all have one enemy, he corrupts everyone and everything, he turns the best of us against each other, tonight turn your weapons to the Capitol," Katniss says,
Katniss is also seen making amends with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) as she hugs him in the clip. But the trailer ends on an ominous note as President Snow threatens Katniss, "Oh dear miss Everdeen, the game isn't over." Things start to spiral out of control here on, as Katniss and her crew are attacked from every side, in an equally dangerous version of The Hunger Games.
The movie will hit theaters on Nov. 20.
