'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2': Jennifer Lawrence Stands Behind Willow Shields In A New Poster

Lionsgate has unveiled two new posters for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.” The posters have been released in connection with the 2015 Cannes Film Festival in France.

One poster shows star Jennifer Lawrence dressed in fighting armor. She's wearing her hair in a fishnet braid and is standing behind Willow Shields, who is seated on a chair. Jennifer plays the main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, and Willow plays her younger sister, Primrose.

Willow appears to have a frightened expression on her face and Jennifer seems to be protective of her. The poster, which was shot by Tim Palen, hints at the upcoming trouble in District 13, according to E! Online.

Meanwhile, in the second poster, a full-blown image of a mockingjay can be seen,and it appears to be on fire. The bird -- a cross breed of mockingbirds and jabberjays -- has become the symbol of revolution in the movie. The birds have been associated with Katniss since the first “Hunger Games” film.

Katniss will will go on a mission to free the people of Panem and plan an assassination of President Snow.
