Jennifer's hair is braided on top of her head and she is seen looking more than a little apprehensive about what's in store. 
In the sequel to the 2012 hit The Hunger Games, Katniss squares off with past winners of the sick annual competition, which pits teenagers from each of the twelve districts of post-apocolyptic Panem in a televised battle to the death.
The warriors taking part in the Quarter Quell - the name for the all-star game that takes places every 25 years - include Katniss and her co-champion in the most recent battle Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), as well as Johanna (Jenna Malone) from District Seven and Finnick (Sam Claflin) from of District Four.
