Catching Fire Casting Rumor: Sam Claflin To Play Finnick, Tony Shalhoub To Play Beetee
Variety is reporting that Sam Claflin is the frontrunner to play Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Meanwhile, Tony Shalhoub is the frontrunner to play the role of District 3 tribute Beetee. Melissa Leo had been shortlisted for the part of Mags but her reps were informed last Tuesday afternoon that she did not get the role.
Sam Claflin is best known for his roles in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White and the Huntsman.
Tony Shalhoub is a three-time Emmy Awards winner. His movies include Spy Kids, Men in Black, Men in Black II, Big Night, The Siege, Cars, Cars 2, and The Man Who Wasn’t There.
NOOOOO TO SAM CLAFLIN!!! HUNTER PARRISH ALL THE WAY!!
oooh…can’t wait to watch it
Isn’t Tony Shalhoub the man from Monk? So I mean Monk? It would be very great, if Tony get the part of Beetee. And I think someone has to explain me one thing: is Mellisa Leo now Mags or not? I didn’t understand it…
Ok thx and may the odds be ever in your favour!!

Sam Claflin would be pretty good as Finnick and if Tony Shaloub but on some glasses and had grey hair he would he PERFECT.

YAY! SAM CLAFLIN WILL BE AWESOME!!!

BTW if anyone is looking for an awesome series to read after the hunger games, the maze runner is second to THG. It’s also gonna be made into a movie which will come out next year.
I TOTALLY forgot about Sam Claflin. He would be great!!! I’m glad the people in charge of casting didn’t forget him, haha!
Ugh, okay now I really hope he gets this part. He needs a career boast (and a chance to be a better actor…that’s my only hesitation).
And Tony Shalhoub?? Perfect too. He’s great at playing different characters
NOOOOO!!!!!they already messed up Johanna,but now Finnick?This is BS!Alex Pettyfer or Ian Somerhalder should’ve been casted!Not this guy!!!!I just lost ALL my respect for Lionsgate!!!!!!
WTF?!!! NOOOOO Alexander Ludwig should be finnick not him! Dx
Alexander Ludwig was Cato…
i think that sam clafin would play a wonderful finnick! and tony shalhoub… ITS MONK! YES he would be perfect!!!! thats beetee. and to the people who think that he wouldnt make a good finnick well, i think you were more thinking of a “average teen heartthrob” but he is still hansom and i think hell play a great finnick!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. IF HE IS FINNICK I WILL BE VERY ANGRY. GRANT GUSTIN NEEDS TO PLAY FINNICK.
NOOOOO!!! GARRETT IS FINNICK!!!!!!
