For the last time, a line of drummers from Panem’s capital lined San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H and heralded the arrival of Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson on behalf of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2.”
Sitting for the franchise’s last convention panel, director Francis Lawrence was joined by his three leads and fellow cast members like “Game of Thrones” star Natalie Dormer and Woody Harrelson. The program was moderated by late night host Conan O’Brien.
In addition to showing a new, full trailer for the film opening November 20, the cast landed a few laughs with the assistance of funnyman O’Brien.
“If you could meet Gale, what would you say to him?” O’Brien asked Hemworth of his character, on the losing end of a love triangle between Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen and Hutcherson’s Peeta Mellark.
“I’d probably say, ‘It’s all right, mate. There’s plenty of fish in the sea,’” Hemsworth joked.
