CASTING RUMOR: Jena Malone offered the role of Johanna in Catching Fire
It has been reported that Jena Malone is up for the role of Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. And now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, she has been offered the role:
Malone has the offer and is in early negotiations for the part, according to sources. The move nixes premature reports that pegged newbie actress-model Zoe Aggeliki as the front-runner to play the ax-wielding former Hunger Games winner from District 7, who aligns with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) in their return to the arena for an all-star death match.
Until we have an official announcement from Lionsgate, we have to treat this as a rumor.
