'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Movie Casts District 2 Tributes Brutus and Enobaria

Production for "Catching Fire" is really taken off as two new actors/actresses are added to the movie cast.

Lionsgate and the filmmakers of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" announced Wednesday that Bruno Gunn will play the role of Brutus in the upcoming film adaption based on Suzanne Collin's bestselling novel.

Brutus is a former Career victor from District 2. He volunteered to partake in the 75th Hunger Games.

Lionsgate also announced that Meta Golding will play the role of Enobaria in the hotly anticipated film.

Both are described in a press release:

Golding is known to television audiences from series regular and guest starring roles on "CSI," "Criminal Minds," "House," and "Cold Case" and will also be seen in the upcoming independent film The Chicago 8.

Gunn has co-starred in a variety of films, most recently the comedy hit Bad Teacher, and is recognizable to TV audiences from frequent guest starring roles including on "The Office", "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Sons Of Anarchy," "Oz," and "Prison Break."

Enobaria is the female tribute from District 2, and joins Brutus in the 75th Hunger Games, known as the Third Quarter Quell.

She competed in the 62nd Hunger Games. There, she ripped open another tribute's throat with her teeth. Later, she cosmetically altered her teeth to end in sharp points, like fans, and tipped with gold so that they were indestructible and a weapon.

Recently, actress Lynn Cohen was cast to play Mags. Mags is the female tribute from District 4 during the 75th Hunger Games. She is an 80-year-old woman who volunteered in the place of Annie Cresta, becoming a tribute alongside Finnick Odair, and forms an alliance with Katniss and Peeta.

Recently, "Sucker Punch" actress Jena Malone was cast to play Johanna Mason, a female victor from District 7.

Lionsgate also announced that Philip Seymour Hoffman will play Plutarch Heavensbee. The Oscar winner reportedly said yes to the role of Heavensbee, who takes over as Head Gamemaker after the murder of Seneca Crane, which took place in the first "Hunger Games" film.

Actress Amanda Plummer has been cast in the role of Wiress. She was the one who pointed out the flaw in the invisible force fields in the Capitol and revealed that the arena was shaped and operated lick a clock. Her district partner is Beetee.

These actors will join Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark), Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket), Lenny Kravitz (Cinna), and Woody Harrelson (Haymitch).

"Catching Fire" is set to release in theaters Nov. 22, 2013.
