Julianne Moore is reportedly being considered for the final two Hunger Games films, which will split Suzanne Collins’ Mockingjay book in two.
Deadline reported this morning that Lionsgate and director Francis Lawrence are considering the Oscar nominated actress for President Alma Coin, the politician who has a major role in Mockingjay as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) continues to be the face of rebellion.
The final films in Lionsgate’s Hunger Games franchise will not be released until Nov. 21, 2014 and Nov. 20, 2015. Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), who is currently directing Catching Fire, has signed on to return for Mockingjay. Screenwrite Danny Strong is also writing both films.
Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are all returning for Mockingjay, as is Philip Seymour Hoffman, who will appear in Catching Fire.
In other Hunger Games news, the cast and crew are heading to Comic con, Lionsgate announced this week, reports Variety. The panel will be held on July 22, along with a presentation for I, Frankenstein.
Catching Fire hits theaters on Nov. 22. Moore’s next film, a remake of Carrie, opens on Oct. 18.
