She has twice survived the terrors of the bloodthirsty Arena in Panem. But The Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen is now facing her greatest challenge – endless selfies with feverish tourists – after debuting at Madame Tussauds in London.
The full-size wax model of Jennifer Lawrence in costume as District 12’s most famous daughter has arrived to coincide with third Hunger Games movie Mockingjay Part 1’s current run in UK cinemas. It will remain on display until at least next November, when final episode, Mockingjay Part 2, is due.
The model, which has a certain beatific veneer, has been created in partnership with the studio behind the blockbuster science fiction saga. “We are hugely excited to have worked with Lionsgate to launch a Katniss wax figure following The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1,” said a spokesperson for Madame Tussauds. “The figure is in its own film-specific backdrop, allowing our guests to get up close to Katniss and the beloved story of The Hunger Games, which we know they’ll love.”
Further models of Lawrence as Everdeen are expected to be introduced at Madame Tussauds’ New York and Los Angeles sites.
