The first trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 reminds us that the war isn't over

The first trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 comes out swinging, with action and drama for those new to the series, and a few gut punches for those who know how the story ends.

And speaking of gut punches, the film also represents the last work of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who completed principal photography on Mockingjay before succumbing to substance abuse, dying of an overdose in February of 2014. It puts a bittersweet tinge on every shot of him in the trailer.
