We all know that movies based off books aren’t always exactly like the book. More often than not, things are usually cut to make the film shorter. Some events are slightly tweaked or removed, but it’s not very often that a previously nonexistent character gets added into the plot. That’s going to be the case though, in the upcoming two-parter for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. It’s been announced that Robert Knepper (Heroes, Prison Break) will be joining the cast as Antonius. Though Lionsgate apparently has not officially come out and confirmed who this Antonius is, there are numerous news sites that are claiming he will be President Snow’s minister.

Knepper is known for playing villains in movies and TV shows, so our guess is that he will likely have his alliance with The Capitol. What are your thoughts?
