The premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" is only a couple of months away so it is unsurprising that details about the upcoming film are already surfacing.

While there is no mystery on how the movie would play as it is based on a novel by Suzanne Collins, fans are still nonetheless very excited to see what happens to Katniss on the big screen.

Luckily, not only has the trailer been released but the cast and crew of the movie are also spilling details about the highly anticipated movie.

"The Hunger Games," whose first movie premiered almost eight years ago in 2008, is a science fiction dystopian film based on the trilogy by Suzanne Collins of the same name. It follows Katniss Everdeen in her participation in the titular Hunger Games and the events which followed after she won the competition.

Last July 23, 2015, the "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" official trailer, "We March Together," was released and by the looks of it, the upcoming film would be nothing but action packed.

The trailer features Katniss marching with the other rebels of District 13 while shooting arrows, laying a lot of trap explosions, wall of goos, and many more.

"Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol... turn your weapons to Snow," said Katniss in the trailer.

The teaser is already exciting enough but director, Francis Lawrence, further fuelled fans' anticipation for the conclusion of the film. In a recent interview, Lawrence, gave a little bit of glimpse on what "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" would be all about and said that it would be far different that the movie that preceded it.

"It's thematically very different. ['Mockingjay – Part 1'] was about the manipulation of media and propaganda, and this one is a real war movie. Very quickly, we're getting out from the confines of District 13 and back out into the rest of Panem, including the Capitol. It's a very different kind of landscape."

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" will hit theatres on Nov. 20, 2015.
