Jennifer Lawrence for Hunger Games

Lionsgate is on a (promotional) roll this week. The entertainment company first whipped out its series of Quarter Quell wetsuit posters for Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Then, Saturday afternoon, it premiered the movie's latest trailer at San Diego Comic-Con and  it includes the kiss between Jennifer Lawrence's character Katniss and Liam Hemsworth's character Gale.

The sequel, directed by Francis Lawrence, appears to stay true to the books showing the rebellion in Panem and Katniss and Josh Hutcherson's character Peta's fear of returning to the arena for an unexpected second go at the Hunger Games.

 Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) return for the second installment of the Hunger Games saga as competitors for the Quarter Quell — a deadly, quarter-century celebration version of the Games. The age limit (12 to 18) is not enacted in this showdown, but one male and one female from each of the 12 districts will still compete in a gruesome, televised contest against victors from other districts in the 75th Hunger Games, a.k.a. the  third Quarter Quell.

The first teaser trailer, which was released in April, gave fans and viewers context for the rebellion Katniss unintentionally incited in Panem, the fictitious nation in which the games take place, with her victory in the previous film. The second trailer (above) shows the first footage of stars Jena Malone, who plays Johanna Mason (a District 7 victor), and Sam Claflin, who plays Finnick Odair (a District 4 victor); it also gives the first glimpse of the Quarter Quell's arena.

 

Joining Lawrence and Hutcherson are Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland, who round out the cast; Francis Lawrence directed the film.Catching Fire is slated to hit theaters Nov. 22.
