The story of Katniss and Peeta might have ended within the Starvation Video games films, however that does not essentially imply the story is over. I imply, audiences cherished the prequel movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and we all know Dawn on the Reaping has been a extremely anticipated story. So, there’s clearly a starvation for the universe to develop. Now, Josh Hutcherson has been requested if he’d be prepared to play Peeta once more. Whereas he’ll fortunately do it, he does have one comprehensible stipulation.
The final time we noticed Peeta on the finish of Mockingjay, he and Katniss settled down as a married couple with two children. Whereas the 2 will at all times have traumatizing recollections of their occasions competing in The Video games and combating towards The Capitol, it regarded just like the Victors lastly discovered peace. Nevertheless, The Starvation Video games franchise remains to be alive and nicely, with prequel books and movies presenting the backstories for President Snow and Haymitch. So, perhaps it is attainable to return to Katniss’s story.
To that time, Josh Hutcherson was requested if he’d ever reprise his Starvation Video games character. In response, he stated in an FR Conventions TikTok:
I’d fortunately play Peeta once more. The story is unimaginable. The Starvation Video games was unimaginable. I feel Peeta’s an unimaginable individual to get to convey to life. I’m curious to know what occurs between once they have their household and when the story ends, simply to grasp what occurred on this planet, how they obtained to that place. However I’m down. If you happen to can speak to Suzanne Collins and inform her to put in writing a e book, I’m in. Signal me up.
I can perceive Josh Hutcherson wanting to attend till Suzanne Collins probably writes a Katniss and Peeta continuation earlier than agreeing to reprise the baker on digicam. In spite of everything, the announcement of the Dawn on the Reaping novel was adopted by its movie adaptation information. So, it’s positively finest to let the creator who introduced the characters to life within the first place be the one to additional Katniss and Peeta’s story.
When Josh Hutcherson’s time enjoying Peeta was over, he admitted to having “blended emotions” about saying goodbye to the forged, crew, and character he developed for years. Nevertheless, he felt good about shifting on to different initiatives. On the similar time, although, it doesn’t imply the thought of returning to Panem as Peeta doesn’t thrill the proficient actor.
Josh Hutcherson’s thought of seeing Peeta and Katniss dwelling collectively between the occasions of Mockingjay and the ultimate epilogue scene can be an awesome continuation. I’d prefer to see Katniss and Peeta modify to life post-Starvation Video games and what led them to determine to have youngsters.
The Bridge to Terabithia actor and the forged additionally had an thought again in 2020 to indicate a narrative ten years after the occasions of Mockingjay, the place historical past repeats itself, and a brand new insurrection is shaped. Whereas that may usher in a brand new technology of Tributes and we might probably see Katniss and Peeta as mentors, perhaps we should always simply let Panem keep peaceable.
One thought TikTok customers commented on within the video was for Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, and Woody Harrelson to cameo in an epilogue for Dawn on the Reaping. I’d like to see that! Perhaps we will see Haymitch in place with Katniss, Peeta, and their youngsters to indicate that he was in a position to finally obtain “the lifetime of a Victor,” as Effie places it.
Nevertheless, if Hutcherson returns, that may, after all, imply doing one factor he hated probably the most whereas enjoying Peeta—bleaching his hair! Effectively, if the previous baby actor went bleach blonde later for The Beekeeper, I’d prefer to assume he’d do it once more for Starvation Video games.
Let’s hope Suzanne Collins will get to writing a prequel/sequel e book for Katniss and Peeta, so Josh Hutcherson can “fortunately” play Peeta once more. He was so lovable because the District 12 victor, and I’d be curious to see how his character has been recovering since The Video games have been declared over.
