The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 director Francis Lawrence has said that there could possibly be more films in the franchise following Mockingjay - Part 2.

Speaking to MTV, Lawrence said of the prospect of extending the series: "Everybody is thinking about it, and talking about it."

He continued: "I just think that one has to go into that world carefully.

"Because I think a huge part of what makes the stories great is that it was really built on this idea of the consequence of war, and you have an amazing character like Katniss at the centre of it."

He added: "And so to just say, 'Oh, we're still in the Hunger Games world', I think is really risky, and you need to make sure that you have something new to say, and either new characters need to be created that are just as compelling as Katniss."

Lawrence concluded: "It's a tricky thing, but I'm definitely open to talking about it, and I think everybody's thinking about it. Everybody loves the world and the ideas."
