How many roles can there still be? Apparently, there were two remaining. Rocker-come-actor Lenny Kravitz, last seen unrecognisably in Lee Daniels‘ Oscar nominated Precious has joined the cast as Cinna in the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games. He was rumored for the part along time ago but Collider recently confirmed his involvement, his character acts as a guide to Katniss Everdeen, the film’s hero played by Jennifer Lawrence.
Meanwhile Deadline tells us that Toby Jones, the British actor most known for the voice of Dobby in the Harry Potter films, has also been cast as the narrator and host of the titular games. The film is set for release on March 23rd next year and stars Lawrence, Stanley Tucci, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and Josh Hutcherson.
With Kravitz and Jones, it looks like the cast is finally complete and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief as we look forward to the days ahead where we can surf the internet without being bombarded by casting news for The Hunger Games.
