LONDON, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Jennifer Lawrence arrived at London's premiere event of Mockingjay: Part 2 Thursday in a Dior Couture gown held together by dainty gold chains.
The American actress, 25, joined her Hunger Games co-stars Natalie Dormer, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson and more at the Thursday night premier at Odeon Leicester Square. Just the night before, the cast attended the first bow of franchise's final installment in Berlin attended by at least 6,000 fans.
After finishing an interview on the London red carpet, a platinum blonde Lawrence attempted to kiss co-star Dormer on the cheek during her own conversation with the press. An awkward turn of the head accidentally caused the two actresses to kiss on the lips in front of the journalists. "Oh my god," Lawrence gasped. "We just kissed on camera and I liked it."
Dormer, who plays Cressida in Mockingjay: Part 1 and Mockingjay: Part 2, wore a draped, black and white Ong-Oaj Pairam gown and her hair loose with an exaggerated part to attend the outdoor event. She laughed off the accidental kiss from Lawrence and continued her interview unfazed, telling ODE she was never good at Monopoly.
Hutcherson, wearing a dark suit ensemble, described his journey playing Peeta in the Hunger Games films for the last five years as "Long, wonderful and challenging." The final film wraps up the revolutionary trilogy focused around Katniss Everdeen's leadership of a Panem uprising against the Capitol.
A day before, in Berlin -- at final Hunger Games world premier for the group -- Australian actor Liam Hemsworth shared a selfie on Instagram featuring co-stars Lawrence, Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks. "Love these guys!!" he wrote. "Thank you so much for all the amazing fans. Love u guys!"
As Katniss Everdeen's story ends on screen, developers and filmmakers are planning a new theme park to maintain the spirit of the Panem revolution. The New York Times reported this week Lionsgate is looking to open a handful of Hunger Games-themed attractions in the United States and China. Stateside, the proposed park will be located in Atlanta.
"The more we thought about it, the more we realized there was a major opportunity -- not just to create something smart and captivating that Hunger Games fans would love, but to bring all of our franchises alive in new ways," said the studio's Chief Branding Officer Tim Palen. Avatron Smart Park, which has obtained Hunger Games licenses, is expected to open in 2019, the Times reported.
Mockingjay: Part 2 opens in theaters Nov. 20.
