"Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" plot reveals that after being symbolized as the "Mockingjay", Katniss Everdeen and District 13 engage in an all-out revolution against the autocratic Capitol.

Rumor has it also that the final scene of "Mockingjay Part 1," where Katniss wakes up and learns Peeta has been hijacked (after he tries to kill her) was originally intended to be the opening scene of this film, but during production, the filmmakers decided ending Part 1 after Peeta is knocked out by Boggs and the screen cuts to black was too big of a cliffhanger for general audiences, so it was added after that instead.

This eventually marked the end of the Capitol's unjust system giving way for Katniss to execute President Snow by her own hands but turned out that she killed President Coin instead; for whatever reason, she was put in trial and was judged not guilty by reason of insanity. Katniss was exiled alone in the empty ruined district 12. Eventually, pretty immediately, Peeta comes in rescue and they lived there alone living with two kids. 

Gwendoline Christie replaces actress Lily Rabe as the Commander Lyme character in the film. Rabe was forced tp drop out due to a scheduling conflict with a previous commitment to perform in "Much Ado about Nothing" at Shakespeare in the Park. The last film role of Philip Seymour Hoffman before his death in 2014 showcasing a scene taken before his death, is to be shown in "Mockingjay part 2."

Almost all of the characters in Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 will be reprising their roles. Actress Meta Golding is set reprise her role as Enobaria the Victor of the 62nd annual Hunger Games. Her character previously appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) as one of the reaped victors to join The 75th annual Hunger Games & 3rd Quarter Quell.

Although her character did not appear in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" (2014), Enobaria is one of the few victors that was rescued from The Capital. In the novel, Peeta, Annie, Johanna and herself are the victors rescued toward the end of Mockingjay Part 1. However, in the film, she is not seen rescued or tortured. Only Johanna, Annie & Peeta are visible. She is the Victor who had her teeth filled into fangs to rip tributes throats out.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part 2" is an upcoming 2015 war adventure film directed by Francis Lawrence with a screenplay by Peter Craig and Danny Strong. The trilogy reportedly has more than 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone. The film adaptation will hit theaters in November 20, 2015.
