The Hunger Games Sequel Set For Comic-Con

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is to get its own panel at next month's Comic-Con 2013 in San Diego.

The hugely popular movie franchise has not been involved with Comic-Con before, but this year a new trailer will get its premiere at the event.

It has not been confirmed which stars or personnel will be involved in the panel, which is scheduled for 20 July.

I, Frankenstein - a new version of Mary Shelley's classic tale starring Jai Courtney and Bill Nighy - is also to get a panel discussion on the same day.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens on 22 November this year.

Star Jennifer Lawrence wowed in a photocall for the movie at Cannes last month.
