What are the only two districts that don’t appear in the movies?

In the “Hunger Games” franchise, the competition that involves choosing 12 girls and 12 boys (called tributes) annually to participate in a bloodthirsty game in a controlled arena, is held in Panem. To do this, a boy and a girl from the 12 districts of the fictional country are chosen to participate in the event, where only one of the 24 competitors emerges as the winner.

In addition to the 12 districts mentioned, the books of Suzanne Collins and the film adaptations reveal that there is still an independent district: district 13, which is the main figure in the population’s latest revolt against the Capital, a place controlled by Coriolanus Snow, president of all Panem.

Even though the events seen in the main trilogy and the prequel “The Hunger Games: A Song of Birds and Snakes” involve all districts, two of them have never appeared in the franchise’s feature films, as analyzed by the Screenrant portal.

What are the only two districts that don’t appear in the Hunger Games films?

It’s true that Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Melark’s Victory Tour in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” allowed most districts to get some screen time. Additionally, during the final rebellion, the audience is introduced more deeply to other districts that are part of the resistance, like District 8, for example, which is the target of a bombing.

Although most of them appear at some point in the plot, two were left out: district 9 and district 10. This is because, in the main titles, not even a glimpse of the districts is shown, just as the identities of the tributes of these places are not presented in the 74th and 75th Hunger Games.

The warmest mention of these districts occurs in “The Hunger Games: A Song of Birds and Snakes”, as in the tenth edition of the games, it is revealed that Panlo and Sheaf, from District 9, and Tanner and Brandy, from District 10, will be in the arena with Lucy Gray.

It is worth remembering that there are few details provided about these districts, as it is only known that District 10 is responsible for the livestock industry in Panem, therefore, all the meat in the country comes from this place, as they were the ones who raised the animals that would serve of protein for the country’s inhabitants. It is also said that District 9 is a grain producer.

Although not presenting these two districts in more detail may be a curious observation about the saga, the possible reasons why the decision was made are understandable, as there are many districts to explore in Panem, so the choice may have been made taking into account taking into account which of them stand out in the games and contribute to the story of their respective protagonists: Katniss and Lucy Gray.
