Glee star, Naya Rivera, recently said she would love to play Johanna Mason in Catching Fire. While we have no idea who will be cast as Johanna, Naya has been a fan favorite for a while. She has read the books and considers herself a fan, having expressed interest in playing the part over a year ago, as you can see here. Many of us have a particular actress in mind for Johanna as she is a huge character in Catching Fire, is Naya Rivera the one you imagined for the role? See excerpt from The Examiner below.
In a recent interview this morning with “Star,” the 25-year-old told about her interest in Suzanne Collins’ teen sci-fi trilogy and campaign to be cast as the past tribute Johanna Mason.
“I started reading [‘The Hunger Games’] books before I even knew they were making it into a movie. I’m just a huge fan,” she said in the interview. “I would love to play Johanna Mason. She’s the axe-wielding tribute and former winner … a real badass!”
Rivera also reported she’s grateful and excited for all her support from her fans on Facebook and Twitter to play the character role. “It’s so exciting. I get tweets every day … it’s good that they get behind something that I’m also passionate about.”
So, tell us, is Naya your Johanna?

Ive been so stressed over Finnick Odair I really havnt put much thought into other characters
Possible. she is stunning indeed
I would die if she’s Johanna. she’s exactly who i pictured when I read the books. hopefully it happens
I imagined Johanna to be different…..But i guess she’d be pretty good for the role….She’s totally someone I can imagine getting the tracker out of Katniss’ arm….
I hope she is.
I think Naya would be PERFECT for the role for Johanna! Naya act mean and sweet; just like Johanna! I REALLY hope she plays this role.
