Plans are apparently afoot for more The Hunger Games movies after Mockingjay - Part 2 hits cinemas in 2015.
But where next can the story go?
That Lionsgate is reported to be having conversations about how to prolong the movie series.
But where could it go if it chooses to do that?
The potential, though, is vast.
After all, so much of what makes Katniss who she is comes down to what came before.
What was District 12 like a few years before the first book begins?
Where were Haymitch and Effie?
His loss ripples across the pages, not just with Katniss herself but with her mother and sister.
Katniss mother shut down when her husband died.
We know this because we learn early on that Katniss had been looking after the family ever since.
Maybe, just maybe, Katnisss mother will finally be allowed a first name, too.
After all, we dont actually know what happened to Gale while Katniss was in the arena itself.
And how was The Capitol treating them once the games started to turn?
How did he manage to get all those people out?
What went on in the mines?
What happened when he first discovered the existence of District 13?
Johanna/Finnick
Johanna Mason has nobody left she loves.
She said so herself.
But what was she like when she did?
What was she like before the Games and in the years that followed?
When we first encountered Finnick Odair inThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire, he was all charm.
Just what does Finnick know?
Theres also his relationship with Annie Cresta to consider.
How did that begin?
Could this be a love story to rival Katniss and Peetas?
Imagine looking closely at the opulence of the Capitol through the combined vitriol and fear of this electric pair!
Whatever approach you take, Sam Claflin and Jena Malone are sure to keep things interesting.
I can just see their faces as they watch the Reaping and see Katniss volunteer for her sister.
Theyd probably have pretty strong reactions!
I also wonder what sort of judges they made for their districts contenders.
Arguably, this would make the most logical sense.
We might see a more reasonable government too, before the excesses of power had fully corrupted it.
Furthermore, theres a potentially interesting story to be told in exploring the dark days.
Its as close as Lionsgate would get to a reboot of the Hunger Games movies, too.
Then what…?
After all, what happens next?
That in itself is a story that might just be worth exploring.
