00:06 Fans of the book and film series were elated when the ballad of the Songbirds and the Snakes
00:10 trailer dropped, and director Francis Lawrence just shared more info on the film's heroine.
00:15 The director told Empire, "Katniss was an introvert and a survivor, but she was quite
00:20 quiet and stoic.
00:21 You could almost say she was asexual.
00:24 Lucy Gray is the opposite.
00:25 She wears her sexuality on her sleeve, and she really is a performer."
00:30 Lawrence's comments have sparked an online reaction.
00:33 Some users were excited to see a more fiery Katniss, while others thought the director's
00:37 comments were odd and unnecessary.
00:40 The film is set to hit theaters in November of 2023, so fans will have to wait and see
