Do not mess with Katniss Everdeen!

The final trailer for The Hunger Games—Mockingjay Part 1 debuted Wednesday, and in the appropriately titled clip "Burn", Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is braver and fiercer than ever, even as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) ominously warns, "Miss Everdeen, prepare to pay the ultimate price."

She sees her district desroyed, but she charges forward, unwilling to back down. "I have a message for President Snow," she says defiantly, "If we burn, you burn with us!"

Heroically, she does this despite Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) issuing a tearful message: "They're coming, Katniss! They're going to kill everyone. You'll be dead by morning!"

She has Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) by her side, but as you can see in the emotionally charged, action-packed clip, the obstacles they face seem insurmountable.

In an interview with SlashFIlm, Lawrence spoke about the challenges of playing her character, saying, "I find it frustrating 'cause I want her to be the hero. I want her to be the, you know, ‘Of course you're gonna do this, of course you want to lead the rebellion. Tell them that you'll be the Mockingjay, no doubts.' But I'm playing a real girl that is stuck. The only thing that she wants, and what makes her a true hero, is she wants as little death as possible. She doesn't want a war to get revenge. She wants to fix the situation and I think the cruelty of the Capitol gets to a place where you can't not do something, you know? You have to act."

Obviously, she's got the acting thing down pat. The final trailer also features the talents of some familiar friends and foes, played by Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, Willow Shields, Woody Harrlelson and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Plutarch Heavensbee.
