The end is nigh forThe Hunger Games, the dystopian death-game franchise that broughtJennifer Lawrenceto prominence and helped make YA adaptations one of Hollywood’s hottest commodities, especially in the wake of theHarry Potterseries. We’re only about two months away from the bow ofFrancis Lawrence’sThe Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, which will see Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) finally lead the revolution for District 13 against the evil Capitol, led by a no-less evilDonald Sutherland.

Mockingjay - Part 2is undoubtedly the most anticipated film for Lawrence in the coming months, but her dance card is quite full at present. Not only is she in early talks to re-team with Francis Lawrence for the Russian spy-work thrillerRed Sparrow, she’s also currently working withAmy Schumeron an untitled script for an upcoming comedy for the duo to co-star in. Of course, she’s also currently anticipated to get another Oscar nomination for her upcoming titular role inDavid O. Russell’s hotly anticipatedJoy, and will return to the role of Mystique inX-Men: Apocalypsenext May. Beyond that even, the irrepressible star has lined up projects with the greatRichard Linklater(The Rosie Project) andSteven Spielberg, who is set to direct her inIt’s What I Do, based on photographer Lynsey Addario’s memoir, recounting her time being held by the Libyan army in 2011. So, yeah, pretty busy lady.
