Cover model: In her role of Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games movies, Jennifer Lawrence intimidates from the cover of Empire
The cover shows Lawrence as Katniss, standing alone amidst the burning and broken rubble of a building.
While smoke rises in the background, the revolutionary girl is all sharp lines and black armour as she menaces with her bow and arrow.
There isn't too much hope in the bleak image, other than a mockingjay symbol somehow still intact on an otherwise broken wall.
On fire: In the third Hunger Games movie, Katniss has to lead a revolution against the government of Panem
Survival: In addition to the character's survival against all odds, Lawrence had to build a career while starring in one of the most popular film series of recent years
It seems fitting, considering that the final two films focus on Katniss' emergence as an active figure of revolution in the dystopian country of Panem.
Empire's interview with the film's director, Francis Lawrence, accompanies the cover and includes a discussion of future Hunger Games movies and the contribution of deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
As for the film's star, Jennifer Lawrence has an interview in the issue about making it through these incredibly popular movies.
Winning: Some critics initially rejected Lawrence as Katniss, saying she was too old and too blonde for the role
Lawrence has played Katniss throughout the films, beginning with The Hunger Games in 2012 - her final appearance is expected in the sequel to Mockingjay, set for a November 20, 2015 release.
Based on a series of books by Suzanne Collins, there had been some objection when Lawrence was originally cast as the film version of Katniss.
The well-received movies have since mostly silenced such criticism.
In addition to her Hunger Games role, the Academy Award-winning actress has kept busy over the past year with a variety of roles, from her Oscar-nominated American Hustle to X-Men: Days Of Future Past to a cameo in Dumb And Dumber To.
Busy: Lawrence (at the premiere of the latest X-Men movie in May 2014) has appeared in five movies over the past year, including an Oscar-nominated role in American Hustle
