According to Deadline, Zoe Aggeliki (R.I.P.D., Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters) is in serious talks to play Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Aggeliki apparently has the edge on Sucker Punch’sJena Malone, who was considered to be the front-runner for the role at one point.
Johanna Mason is the previous winner of the Hunger Games competition who shows up in the two sequel novels in the trilogy. She is described as deceptive and ruthless, and became the victor of the games after pretending to be weaker than everyone else and then taking advantage of her lies. Aggeliki’s casting isn’t confirmed yet, but the site is making it sound like it’s hers to lose.
