Jennifer Lawrence is in high demand right now! She is also in the X-Men First Class sequel, which could delay Catching Fire! No worries...
"Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Fox is informing talent agencies Thursday that the studio plans to begin shooting its in-development sequel to X-Men: First Class in January. That means Lionsgate could move forward with an August-September start date for the Hunger Games sequelCatching Fire without a conflict for Lawrence, who is set to star in both.I am very excited for Catching Fire because it is my favorite book and has my two favorite characters- Johanna and Finnick! I can't wait for casting.
As THR previously reported, tensions between the studios were running high last month as Fox was considering filming the Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men follow-up in the fall, potentially conflicting with Lionsgate’s plans for Hunger Games. Fox, which cast Lawrence as the shape-shifting character Mystique in Summer 2010, months before Lionsgate chose her to play Katniss Everdeen in March 2011, has the right to exercise the option on her contract if it conflicts with another Hunger. That’s true even though Lawrence is part of a large ensemble in X-Men but is the clear star of the Hunger franchise."
