Hoffman is the first new actor to officially join the wildly popular franchise, alongside stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth,Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, and Donald Sutherland. Actress Jena Malone has reportedly signed up to play tribute Johanna Mason (see more on our original post about that story below) first reported that Malone was in the running for the role, but Lionsgate has yet to confirm that casting.
Director Francis Lawrence is aiming to start shooting "Catching Fire" later this year. Along with Hoffman’s casting, the studio also released its first official synopsis for the film, based on the best-selling novel by Suzanne Collins.
"Catching Fire" is set to hit theaters on Nov. 22, 2013.
