Catching Fire Cast: See Who’s in the Movie (So Far)
Aug 2, 2012 @ 5:30 pmThe odds are in our favor—again! Finally, Lionsgate announced that Lynn Cohen will be playing the crucial character of Mags, former District 4 champion, in the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire. (You may recognize her from Sex and the City as Miranda’s nanny Magda.) Snow White and the Huntsman‘s Sam Claflin, is also close to signing a deal to star as flirty Finnick Odair, Deadline reports. Cohen will join Jena Malone, who’s in as the District 7′s Johanna Mason, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, as gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. Click through to see more of Catching Fire’s official cast.

The headline may suggest that there is a new Hunger Games cast, but it’s very misleading. ALL of the main cast is returning. A few supporting characters may be changing, but by and large the cast remains rhe same. I felt the leading two male roles, those of Peeta and Gale, were mis-cast, although the actors did an admirable job. Neither, however, looked the part, as least as I imagined they should. I realize that my opinion is subjective, but aren’t they all? I have heard these comments from other people.
