'Hunger Games' Trailer Pays Tribute To Prim

by Maggie Malach

It's a bittersweet time for fans of the Hunger Games franchise. While we're all excited to see the next film, Mockingjay — Part 2, it will be the last installment of the series. I've been comforting myself by looking at Hunger Games GIFs that describe my sadness, but a new trailer for the movie is also helping. Titled "For Prim," the preview pays tribute to Katniss Everdeen's little sister, whose entrance into the games marked the catalyst for the series.

The two-minute trailer pulls from different moments in the Hunger Games franchise, beginning with Katniss assuring Prim that her name won't be called in the selection and ending with the two sisters hugging. It's incredibly emotional, especially for fans who know how the series ultimately concludes.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, actress Willow Shields discussed the relationship between Prim and Katniss, saying, "Honestly, that's my favorite part about this character, is the relationship between her and Katniss. Because throughout this whole series, it's the only true, genuine love relationship. Other relationships you're not certain of throughout, and Katniss isn't either, but she is always certain of her love for Prim."
