With about three weeks until The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping releases, Jennifer Lawrence seems to have been given the green light to talk openly about returning as Katniss Everdeen in the prequel—or maybe she decided to go rogue. During an appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, released Wednesday, Cooper asked Lawrence what it was like to reprise her role. Without hesitation, the actor recalled being on set with Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark) and also let slip that Woody Harrelson will return as Haymitch Abernathy, which wasn’t publicly known up until this point. Lawrence said the experience was “unbelievable” and the cast fell back into their old ways. “It was so crazy,” she said. “It was the same crew. It was the same camera guys, the same AD who I’ve worked with a million times, too, because I love him. And Josh and Woody. It was so emotional. Josh and I didn’t walk to the bathroom without our arms around each other. It was so beautiful. And Woody, obviously, came through the window of my hotel room uninvited, because it wouldn’t be the same if he listened to boundaries and used a door.”
