How Johanna could return in the future

There are viable sequel and prequel possibilities

Since Johanna won the 71st Hunger Games, and Sunrise over the harvest tells the story of the second Quarter Quell, Johanna will not be able to appear in the next installment of the franchise. There are, however, still other ways for it to appear in the future, such as the sequel idea suggested by Malone. THE Mockingjay the end of the novel and the The Mockingjay – Part 2 the ending focuses on the aftermath of the Capitol’s defeat through the eyes of Katniss Everdeen, a narrative decision that works with Katniss being the protagonist and only point-of-view character in the book trilogy.

However, this decision limits knowledge of the complete transformation of Panem after the fall of the Capitol. A sequel or spin-off that takes place around ten years later Mockingjay can tell a larger story of how Panem has progressed since the revolution and since Commander Paylor was elected president. Johanna and other surviving characters, including Katniss, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne, and Haymitch Abernathy, may return to provide more perspective on the changes that have occurred and the challenges that have arisen. Another possibility is a prequel that could follow various stories.

These can vary from Johanna’s childhood in District 7, her victory in the Hunger Games, or the years between her victory and her return as a tribute to Quell’s third quarter in Catch fire. The middle years can explore the friendship she formed with District 4 winner Finnick Odair, and perhaps even shed more light on how she, Finnick, and other Third Trimester Quell tributes coordinated in advance to pledge to protect Katniss in the arena. Thanks to Suzanne Collins and the rich world she has created and continues to create, there are some intriguing possibilities for Johanna. hunger games future.
