The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced inThe Hunger Games.
This latest poster teases the moment when Katniss and her rebels march into the Capitol to topple a giant monument to President Snow. But first, there are a few traps awaiting them, concocted by the gamemakers who devised the same sorts of death traps in the actualHunger Gamesthemselves. Among these traps are vats of hot oil that are poured into the courtyard. You’ll notice that Peeta is back with Katniss in this sneak peek image. In the movie, he encourages her to move forward with her attack. He tells his friend that every death suffered at the hands of Snow will finally mean something, if she is able to kill this tyrannical leader.
