There’s a new The Hunger Games: Catching Fire casting announcement today, but this one has not been formally announced by Lionsgate.

Variety reports that Patrick St. Esprit has signed on to play Romulus Thread. He is Head Peacekeeper in District 12.

The Hunger Games Wiki sums up the character: “Harsh and unforgiving, Thread appears in Catching Fire, ready to enforce the law, no matter what. Being fiercely loyal to the Capitol, he is willing to do whatever it takes, going to such extremes that he injured Katniss, the victor of District 12 who had an upcoming modeling session.”

The addition of Esprit makes for five confirmed casting additions. Jena Malone will play Johanna, Amanda Plummer will play Wiress, Philip Seymour Hoffman will play Plutarch, and Lynn Cohen will play Mags.

We expect Lionsgate to make another casting annoumcement sometime this week.
