We have a director, so now the question is who will play some of our favorite Catching Fire characters? Well E! Online decided to do some fantasy casting and they have some interesting choices.
BEETEE:
He’s the 50-ish black-haired techno-genius with a penchant for things that go zap in the night arena.People out there like: Michael Emerson, Steve Buscemi
But what about: Andy Serkis? Think about it. You know I’m right.
Dark horse contender: Doug Jones. You’ve seen him act, I am sure of it, albeit probably under a ton of makeup, in films like Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy. But look at the face and notice a certain wonky inspiration that could make for a surprisingly sympathetic Beetee.
Or there’s always: John Malkovich.
WIRESS:
Beetee’s constant companion who nurses a fried brain, thanks to her previous arena experiences. She tends to be shy and easily distracted — personality traits that, of course, belie a keen intelligence.People out there like: Helena Bonham Carter, Tilda Swinton
But what about: Frances McDormand? Think about it. You know I’m right.
Dark horse contender: Joan Allen. She’s a tall, strong drink of water, but her almost elven features could channel The Crazy pretty well, I suspect.
Or there’s always: Winona Ryder or Uma Thurman
MAGS:
Poor Mags, all old and back in the arena and everything. She’s supposed to be 80 and kind of addled. But if you need a fish hook, she’s your gal.People out there like: Betty White, Cloris Leachman
But what about: Maggie Smith? Come on. You know I’m right.
Dark horse contender: Sissy Spacek. At 62, she’s technically way too young, but something about her feels right.
Or there’s always: Meryl Streep, with the right makeup
PLUTARCH HEAVENSBEE:
This mysterious man of unknown age takes over as Head Gamemaker, but he has a hidden agenda that makes him much more interesting than Seneca Crane ever was.People out there like: Jared Harris, Philip Seymour Hoffman
But what about: Just about anybody? It’s not like we know much about the guy’s physical appearance. Come on. You know I’m right.
Dark horse contender: That really shifty guy from Game of Thrones. Seriously, I could watch that guy for hours.
Or there’s always: Anybody! I mean it! Denzel! The Cloon! Kenneth Branagh!
