Sam Claflin Cast As Finnick In ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’!

Over the past couple of weeks there has been a ton of cast announcements for the upcoming sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But there has been one role that fans have been waiting to hear and it was announced today. Sam Claflin, who you probably know best from Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White And The Hunstman, has been cast as Finnick!

Charismatic and clever, Finnick was a District 4 Hunger Games victor when he was fourteen. The character is best known for his proficiency with a trident, his skills as a swimmer, and his irresistible charm and good looks. With addition of Claflin as Finnick, the last major piece of the casting puzzle has fallen into place for the upcoming sequel. Claflin joins Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jena Malone, and Amanda Plummer as one of the main new additions to the franchise.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters November 22, 2013.
