Well, we reported three weeks ago that Jena Malone would play Johanna Mason in Catching Fire, but now it's absolutely, without question, 100% official.
Lionsgate released a press release today informing us that Malone had been cast as the antagonistic tribute. And though we pretty much already knew this, it's good to hear some official word.
Malone will join Jennifer Lawrence and newcomers Amanda Plummer, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and possibly Sam Claflin, who is rumored to be playing Finnick Odair.
The sequel to The Hunger Games is based on the second book in Suzanne Collins' series. Catching Fire will be released on November 22, 2013.
