One of the most satisfying things about large ensemble cast films is when one of your favourite TV actors pops up out of nowhere, and Mockingjay will not disappoint. Out of the new characters, Boggs (terrible name, great guy) is one of the most sympathetic, interesting, and prominent. He is initially President Coin's right-hand man, and then becomes Katniss' protector during the war effort. Whilst he doesn't speak much, his actions do: Boggs' quiet encouragement to Katniss is understated in the best way. Netflix fans will then be pleased to recognise Mahershala Ali in this role, or Remy Danton from House of Cards as he is better known. If mainstream networks are more your thing, don't be disappointed yet. Do you like Game of Thrones? Of course you do, don't be stupid. How do you feel about Natalie Dormer? If the answer is anything other than excellent, then I am shocked. Everyone's favourite King-shagger is set to be resident director of the District rebellion, creating anti-Capitol propaganda with Plutarch. Not only this, but American Horror Story sweetheart Lily Rabe has been cast as Commander Lyme, a past Hunger Games victor-turned-rebel leader with a ruthless streak. Fans of AHS will know Rabe's fantastic range as an actor, so here's hoping she will bring a bit of that Mary Eunice edge to the role.
