New Hunger Games: Catching Fire Portrait Reveals Jena Malone As Johanna Mason

There are multiple recurring characters from The Hunger Games that will be featured in the sequel, Catching Fire, from Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen to Stanley Tucci's Caesar Flickerman, but what's nice about the follow-up is that it will also feature plenty of new characters. Philip Seymour Hoffman will be playing Plutarch Heavensbee, Sam Claflin has been cast as Finnick Odair, Jeffrey Wright portrays Beetee, and Jena Malone will be Johanna Mason in the film and fans of the franchise can be excited about seeing the literary character realized for the big screen.

Earlier today Wright was revealed in costume as part of the ongoing series of character portraits promoting the film, but now it's Malone's turn in the spotlight. The latest portrait has been revealed over at Moviefone and you can see it below:

Directed by Francis Lawrence, who takes over the chair from Gary Ross, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire finds Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) thrown back into the Hunger Games arena due to the Quarter Quell, an event held every twenty-five years, and facing off against other former champions of the game. Meanwhile, tensions rise in Katniss' relationship with Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and murmur of an uprising begins to spread throughout Panem. The movie will be in theaters on November 22 - just in time for Thanksgiving - and keep checking back here for more of the character portraits.
