After months of speculation, wishing and dread, Lionsgate have finally officially announced the actor cast in this summer's most coveted role. British actor Sam Claflin will be playing the role of the desirable and very dashing Finnick Odair in the highly-anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Finnick, a former victor of the games, will be thrown together with Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as uncertainty and dissent falls across the districts, following the heroes' controversial actions in the last film. Finnick is introduced as a popular young man, from the oceanic District 4, who is skilled and deadly with a trident. Charismatic with a seductive reputation, he proves that impressions are not always what they seem.
The twenty-six year old actor is best known for his roles in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and the recent Snow White and the Huntsman. Claflin has proven his talent at capturing courageous and stalwart characters in his previous roles, and will hopefully bring the perfect balance of charm, intelligence and vulernability to the role.
Catching Fire is scheduled for release next year on November 22nd.
