Jennifer Lawrence is preparing for a packed stretch of film projects, with the actor set to return to familiar franchises like The Hunger Games, while exploring a slate of new collaborations ranging from a Miss Piggy project to a Martin Scorsese production. Since her breakthrough, Lawrence has moved between blockbuster franchises, intimate character studies, and sharp-edged comedies, building a filmography that resists being neatly boxed into one genre.

Her upcoming slate continues that pattern, bringing together acclaimed filmmakers, a high-profile franchise return, and some unexpected titles. From returning to Panem to stepping into entirely new cinematic worlds, Lawrence’s next chapter is taking shape across genres.

Jennifer Lawrence is set to reprise Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, directed by Francis Lawrence. The prequel revisits Panem decades before Katniss’s story, though details of Lawrence’s appearance remain limited. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters in November 2026.

Lawrence will also reunite with Martin Scorsese on What Happens at Night, adding another notable filmmaker to her growing list of collaborators. She is also attached to Sinatra, another Scorsese-directed film, although further details about her role and the production remain undisclosed.

Her upcoming work includes The Flood, a science-fiction thriller written and directed by Zach Cregger. The project marks a shift into original genre territory for Lawrence, who will lead the film, currently scheduled for release in 2028.

Elsewhere, the recent Instagram debutante is linked to a Miss Piggy movie, with its director yet to be announced, and One Month Mark, another project for which details remain under wraps. Together, the titles point to a varied slate, though several are still in early stages, with their creative specifics yet to emerge.

Before this upcoming run of high-profile collaborations, Lawrence’s latest release offered a reminder of her appetite for emotionally demanding roles.

Die My Love offered a more intimate return to the screen

While Jennifer Lawrence’s upcoming projects span major franchises and ambitious new collaborations, her most recently released film, Die My Love, placed her in a far more intimate story. The 2025 drama stars Lawrence as Grace, with the actor also serving as a producer.

The film marked another move toward psychologically complex material for Lawrence, whose career has frequently alternated between large scale productions and performances built around difficult, deeply personal characters.

That variety has long been part of Lawrence’s screen identity. She can now return to the dystopian world that made her a global star, work with Scorsese on more than one project, or venture into the distinctly different territory of a Miss Piggy film. For Lawrence, the next chapter is less about settling into a single cinematic lane than moving between them, and keeping audiences guessing about where she will appear next.
