Deadline Claims that Zoe Aggeliki is the Frontrunner for Playing Johanna Mason in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"

If you could still remember, Zoe Aggeliki's name was mixed into the Johanna Mason casting rumor several days ago along with Mia Wasikowska by The Playlist. Then after that, EW has reported that Mia Wasikowska is not in the running to play the District 7 victor as confirmed by the Aussie actress' reps. EW has also added that Jena Malone is a front runner to play Johanna but Deadline also reported that Zoe Aggeliki is now in negotiations with Lionsgate for the role. According to Deadline:

However, sources say model-actress Aggeliki is the one in the most serious talks after both auditioned for director Francis Lawrence.

Anyway, the fandom is really going crazy over this casting rumors not just for Johanna, Finnick and other characters. I don't know why the people from Lionsgate are very tight when releasing official announcements for the casts. I mean the sequel will be filmed soon so I think it might be a great way to keep the fandom alive if they announce any casting news soon.

Johanna Mason Casting Rumors: Mia Wasikowska & Zoe Aggeliki are Rumored to Play Johanna

So much for the Finnick Odair casting rumor, let's head on to the Johanna Mason at the moment.  According to Indie Wire's The Playlist, Mia Wasikowska and Zoe Aggeliki were in the mix to play the axe-wielding victor from District 7 named Johanna Mason. If you have read the books, Johanna has a major role in the second and third book. Katniss said that Johanna is like a big sister who doesn't like you. She's very rude, fearless and seems to contradict Katniss a lot. But despite the toughness, Johanna lives a lonely life back in her district since she got no family. Probably, they've been killed after Johanna won in the Games just like Haymitch.

We all know Mia Wasikowska played Alice in Alice in Wonderland and she's Josh Hutcherson's big sister in "The Kids Are Alright." She also played the titular role in Jane Eyre.

 On the other hand, Zoe Aggeliki will be seen with Ryan Reynolds in "R.I.P.D." She will also play the role of Silena Beauregard in "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters."

 According to The Playlist:

Francis Lawrence is keen on finding the right actress to fit the part, and is looking at both big names and lesser known talents. Both actresses have been in discussions for the part, and we hear that Aggeliki could sign in the coming days, but nothing is certain just yet.
