( CNN ) -- One down , one more to go . The role of Johanna Mason — one of the most anticipated new characters in `` The Hunger Games : Catching Fire '' — may be taken . Lionsgate has reportedly already offered the part — a cunning , sarcastic Tribute from District 7 — to Malone , star of Saved ! , Sucker Punch , and , most recently , the A & E mini-series `` Hatfields & McCoys . '' EW reported last week that Malone was in the running for the role . Mason , who eventually allies herself with Jennifer Lawrence 's Katniss and Josh Hutcherson 's Peeta , also appears in Suzanne Collins ' third book Mockingjay , so we can probably expect to see Malone in forthcoming sequels . Still to be cast is the role of Finnick Odair , another Tribute that aids the series ' protagonists , even though production is expected to begin in September with Francis Lawrence directing .
