The Hunger Games: 5 Potential Movies For After Mockingjay

4. Katniss' Family

In the epilogue of Mockingjay, it is revealed that Katniss and Peeta have married and have two children. The epilogue also reveals that Katniss is fully aware that her children are going to grow up with lots of questions about how their society as it is was formed, particularly their mother and father's role in it all. It is mentioned that the events of the rebellion are taught in schools, which is sure to throw up all manner of questions from the kids. One of the better aspects of the Hunger Games films so far has been the way in which Katniss' complex emotions and relationships are handled. This story thread leaves ample room for a family drama that really explores the complexity of Katniss' emotional state following her sister's death and the aftermath of the rebellion. In her previous roles, Jennifer Lawrence has showcased a real aptitude for conveying inner struggles with the utmost subtlety. A spin-off for an older Katniss could be a great way for her to return to the role that made her name.
