The odds of Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/a> and Josh Hutcherson<\/strong><\/a> returning to The Hunger Games<\/em><\/a> franchise are ever in their favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n After all, the former\u00a0<\/em>costars will be reprising their respective roles of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark in the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping<\/em>, a prequel centered on Woody Harrelson<\/strong><\/a>‘s Haymitch Abernathy character, according to multiple<\/a> outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n The pair will likely appear in a flash-forward scene at the end of the movie. In the epilogue<\/a> of the\u00a0Suzanne Collins<\/strong> novel that the movie is adapted from,<\/a> Katniss and Peeta sit down with Haymitch following their revolution in the Capitol, which\u00a0occurred in Mockingjay, <\/em>and <\/em>learn about his tragic backstory.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn’t want to have anything to do with their memorial book after the war,\u201d Haymitch insisted Sunrise on the Reaping<\/em>‘s epilogue. \u201cWhat use? What point? To relive all the loss.”<\/p>\n Still, Katniss and Peeta embraced their former mentor and offered him a flock of geese to tend to after learning that his late love Lenora Dove Baird cared for the animal.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cLike the geese,\u201d Haymitch remarked, “we really did mate for life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
