In a recent interview with BANG Showbiz , Jennifer Lawrence, who portrays the character Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games films, discussed how she thinks it would be for her if she had to deal with all the pressure that Katniss deals with in the films, ''I feel like drawing on personal experiences is tricky for me, I never really understand because it's not me, it's a very particular person who handles her emotions in a very different way.” She then revals one of the main faults she would have to deal with if she was in this situation, ''I'd be crying every single day if I was Katniss, I'd be like, 'Where's my mom?' '' So, with that said, the 24 old actor, doesn’t think she’d be able to handle all the difficult things her character does in the films.

A seventeen year old from District 12 and victor of the 74th Hunger Games, she becomes a reluctant hero and symbol of hope for the nation after escaping the third Quarter Quell in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. On her character, Lawrence said, "She's in a different world. She wakes up in District 13 and she has to adjust to a completely new life." Director Francis Lawrence said that her character now compared to the previous film is just "ratcheted up" and that "she's panicked, and she can't sleep. She's barely able to hold it together." On her relationships with the other characters, he said that Katniss "feels betrayed by Haymitch and by Plutarch. She also feels lost without Peeta" and that because of that "she's very, very fragile and very, very angry." Screenwriter Peter Craig said that "everyone is waiting for her, hoping that she is alive. They're banking on her to change the world. It's both high anxiety-provoking and exhilarating to follow her as she tries to understand what is going on - and takes on this new identity outside of the arena."[9] Producer Nina Jacobson says that "emotionally, Katniss is betrayed. She’s a foreigner in a strange land. She knows that people are looking to her to make a change, and this is the time where she realizes she can’t stand by and do nothing. Snow has done too much. There has been too much deception, and the people Katniss loves are in danger. She will do whatever it takes to keep them safe
