Rebel Wilson is in talks to join 'The Hunger Games'.

The 'Pitch Perfect' actress revealed she has met with producers on the hit film saga - which stars Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen - about starring in the next instalment of the series as a resident of the fictitious Capitol.

Speaking to BuzzFeed.com, she said: "Um, seriously, I have had a meeting about being in 'The Hunger Games'.

"It was one of the people in the Capitol. That's all I'll say.

"There aren't a lot of roles open, because they've all already been cast, but that would be awesome. I'd love to be in 'The Hunger Games'."

The follow-up to last year's smash hit movie, 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire', has already been filmed and is set for release in November.

The final two instalments in the franchise - which will adapt the third novel in the trilogy, 'Mockingjay' - will begin production later this year for release in November 2014 and November 2015, respectively.

Wilson admits she "loves" the adventurous franchise, which is set in a dystopian future where young recruits are forced to battle to the death, and praised lead star Lawrence.

She said: "I met her at a party and she was super-duper nice. She's really quite tall. Which I found -- I don't know if you get that impression when you see her in movies, but she's quite tall. Yeah, and she's just really nice and I love 'The Hunger Games' and I can't wait for the new one to come out."
