'Catching Fire': Lionsgate reveals rest of cast for 'Hunger Games' sequel

Like someone who underestimated how much space there was left in the margin, Lionsgate has just said “eh, screw it” and crammed the rest of their casting news in at the bottom. After months of slowly and methodically revealing the actors in their highly anticipated sequel, the studio has added eleven new faces to their marketing team’s Facebook trading card/advent calendar doohicky.

While most of them probably won’t have a line longer than “Whu–?” in the movie, this final bit of news rounds out the list of tributes participating in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire‘s murder-a-thon. The sequel began shooting this month in Georgia and is set to hit theaters next Thanksgiving.

Here are the newly announced cast members and who they are slated to play:

Ending weeks of speculation, Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman) has officially been cast as the dashing former Hunger Games champion Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lionsgate announced today. The British-born Claflin, 24, had been the front-runner for the coveted role since mid-July.

Of all the new characters in Catching Fire, Finnick looms largest. After he won his Hunger Games for District 4 when he was 14 thanks to his prowess with a trident, Finnick’s rakish good looks and louche charm helped him become something of a celebrity in the Capitol. (MILD SPOILERS AHEAD!)

The Catching Fire reaping continues. Stephanie Leigh Schlund (The Last Song) has landed the role of Cashmere in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Schlund costarred in the pilot of Drop Dead Diva, and will next appear on the fall Fox series The Following, with Kevin Bacon.

Catching Fire starts production this fall, with director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend).
