Fans of The Hunger Games series rejoiced Monday when Lionsgate announced it would be releasing the second movie in the franchise, Catching Fire, on November 22, 2013.
As the excitement over this news settles, fans want to know more — and of course, Lionsgate isn’t saying anything quite yet.
Most fans assume the cast will return for the second movie — which seems likely, but isn’t guaranteed. Details about their contracts are not known, but it is common for studios to sign cast members to multiple movies at once when creating potential film franchises. Still, there’s always the slight possibility a role could be recast.
Fans will also soon likely begin campaiging for their favorite choices for new characters introduced in Catching Fire, prime among them Finnick Odair, the tribute from District 4, as well as the other tributes introduced in the Quarter Quell.
It’s also uncertain if Gary Ross will return as director. As with many franchises, such as Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga, directors change hand between movies.
