Catching Fire has added some real clout to its growing ensemble, with Lionsgate confirming that Philip Seymour Hoffman has signed on to play the role of Plutarch Heavensbee.
Despite reporting that Hoffman had been offered the part back in June, we must admit to being a little surprised at this one, particularly given that the actor hasn't been part of a franchise movie since his turn as the villain in Mission: Impossible 3 in 2006.
Still, its a real coup for Lionsgate, who will be thrilled that the casting process is finally up and running. Hoffman's character Heavensbee is the new gamemaker, who fills the position that was rather unceremoniously vacated by Seneca Crane at the end of the first film.
