Jennifer Lawrence appears geared up for battle in a new image from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” released on Thursday.

Elizabeth Banks, sporting a lemon-colored ‘do and a futuristic blue dress with feathery fringe trim, returns as the stylist Effie Trinket — clutching the shoulders of Lawrence’s heroine Katniss Everdeen from behind.

The fourth and final film in the blockbuster franchise based on Suzanne Collins‘ best-selling young adult novels hits theaters Nov. 20.

Last month, Lionsgate announced that director Francis Lawrence and the cast of the series would return to Comic-Con’s Hall H in San Diego on July 9 for a Q&A, as well as a preview of footage from the film.

The first trailer for the film was released on June 9 and showed Katniss rallying the rebel forces banding together to fight President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

“We all have one enemy,” the heroine of the franchise says. “He corrupts everyone and everything. He turns the best of us against each other. Tonight turn your weapons to the Capitol.”

The film also stars Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Natalie Dormer as Cressida and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee.
