Entertainment Weekly broke down the Catching Fire panel at Comic Con. Here's what they had to say:
The Panel: Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, Lenny Kravitz, Willow Shields, along with director Francis Lawrence
Footage Screened: A new trailer (check it out below), which featured a very brief look at the new Arena, newcomer Sam Claflin as your merman boyfriend Finnick, and several scenes set around the Capitol.
Snap Judgment: In contrast to the gray-grit aesthetic adopted by director Gary Ross for the first Hunger Games, the footage screened from Catching Fire was decidedly more colorful, with sweeping shots of the Capitol and the Victory Tou rof Panem. (In fairness to Ross, Catching Fire is almost certainly benefiting from that sweet sweet sequel cash.) The film certainly looks impressive, although it’s disappointing that we didn’t get to see much of the new characters.
The Big Revelations: A single shot of Sam Claflin led to loud whoops throughout the crowd. The chatty panel didn’t offer many surprises — turns out Jennifer Lawrence is incredibly charming, have you heard? Lionsgate is clearly sticking to the YA-franchise script with the second Hunger Games movie. (It’s really going to get interesting next year, when the cast and crew try to convince us that they’ve figured out how to turn the incredibly bleak Mockingjay into two movies.)
Most Incisive Audience Question: An attendee asked Lawrence and Hutcherson whether they would have any “hot” kissing scenes. This led to a long story which involved Lawrence — who, lest you forget, is an Academy Award winner and one of the most popular actresses alive on the world today — saying the words, “There was a huge string of snot!”
The day we've all been impatiently waiting for is here!! It's Catching Fire trailer premiere day!! Today, the cast of Catching Fire will sit down at 1:35 in Hall H for a panel moderated by Dave Karger from Yahoo Movies. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Willow Shields, Jena Malone, Lenny Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, and Francis Lawrence will take the stage to answer YOUR questions, submitted with the hashtag #CatchingFireComicCon.
During the panel, Yahoo Movies will have the exclusive premiere of the Catching Fire trailer on their website at 2:15pm PT/ 5:15pm ET.
Right after the Catching Fire panel, Willow Sheilds, Jena Malone and Jeffrey Wright will be signing autographs at the Lionsgate booth (4029 B).
Then, at 3:30pm PT/ 6:30pm ET, MTV will live stream an interview with Josh Horowitz and some of the Catching Fire cast members. Specific cast members not confirmed yet.
That's not all! Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville will delve into Catching Fire fashion at the panel, "Poppin' Some Tags" 4:30pm PT in Convention Center Room 24ABC. She'll sign autographs after the panel at 6:00pm PT in Autograph Hall.

Day 1 at San Diego Comic Con was a madhouse!! If Lionsgate had any doubts about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's popularity with fans, they were put to rest today. Fire Marshalls sent huge crowds away from the Lionsgate booth, shutting down the scheduled 11:00am mockingjay pin giveaway.
But lucky fans who got there early to snag a wristband were treated to an autograph session with Bruno Gunn (Brutus), Stephanie Leigh Schlund (Cashmere), and Meta Golding (Enobaria).
