As if watching the final trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire wasn't enough, along come some brand-new, never-before-seen photos to stare excitedly at in anticipation of the sequel.

Featured exclusively in the latest issue of Variety, these latest pics give us a further glimpse at Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson's Peeta Mellark, Elizabeth Banks' Effie Trinket and Jena Malone's Johanna Mason.

In the issue, Lawrence talks about being part of the Hunger Games world.

"It's weird dealing with this being as big as it is," the Oscar winner says. "I've never been on another film where we actually talk about the fan base. It's sort of like this Big Brother looking over us."

But she's quick to add, "I'm so grateful."

As for her character, Katniss, Lawrence says, "She really is the reluctant hero. She's brave, but she's also scared, and she knows that things may wind up being far worse."

Of course, things will wind up being far better for fans when The Hunger Games: Catching Fire finally hits theaters on Nov. 22.

Let the countdown begin! (Or should we say, continue.)
