Maybe you were wondering what had happened to British actor Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), who was said to have snagged the coveted role of Finnick in the soon-to-shoot Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire. Well, that rumor from a month ago is true: He’s Finnick. Lionsgate officially announced the casting today. Pretend that you’re still surprised if you see him, okay?
