By the time ''Mockingjay: Part 2'' came out, Katniss was eighteen while Lawrence was twenty-three during filming and twenty-five when the movie hit theatres. Interestingly, she also played Katniss at the age of thirty-three during the epilogue, which is the ''opposite'' of Dawson Casting given the character was now a decade ''older'' than Lawrence.
