Catching Fire Casting: Could This Be Brutus?
We’re all waiting patiently for the official word from Lionsgate about exactly who will be cast in The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire. Up until now, we’ve heard rumors, but nothing too concrete. But one actor that has let it slip that he’s being considered for a role in the movie is “Magic Mike” actor Keven Nash.
According to USA Today, Nash attended the premiere of “Magic Mike” and told their reporter that he’s in talks for a role in Catching Fire, adding, ”I just pray it’s recurring, that he doesn’t get killed.”
Nash is a former wrestling champion-turned actor.
He certainly would make a pretty good fit for Brutus, the 40-something District 2 Tribute who volunteers for the third Quarter Quell.
Are there any other roles you could see Nash playing in Catching Fire?
Let us know what you think.

It’s magic Mike not Make
oops – typo – thanks – I fixed it
He looks perfect
He could be a good Brutus, but for some reason, I always pictured him with dark hair. Maybe it’s because he was in his early 40′s, so I didn’t really think his hair would have grayed yet, not completely anyway. Maybe they’ll dye his hair though
Hair dye, problem solved!
I know a handful of people who grayed competely by their early 40s…it happens, I don’t think the hair color will make it or break it for him.
Someone said elsewhere he could be Romulus Thread… He actually looks a lot like “my” Romulus Thread.

Wow! That’s totally possible, never thought of that!
I always pictured a black-eyed Charlie Bewley as Thread. But Keven, I think, would make a great Brutus. Just shave the beard, dye the hair, and you’ve got a District 2 volunteer tribute right there.
I’m so tired of all these casting *rumors*—I want a confirmation. Doesn’t production begin next month, July? If so, Lionsgate and Francis Lawrence better get a move on it!
Honestly don’t know, I’ve read it starts on August, I’ve read elsewhere it starts september… I would guess September is most likely.
well remeber peeta has to kill brutus so you got to cast someone that josh could take down
Everybody is saying things about Josh being able to take pepole down and finnick being able to carry Peeta… Josh picked Alexandwer Ludwig up for his fight seen and obviously, it’s acting, something can ALWAYS be arranged.
I totally agree with you Sammy!!!!!!
I agree
I approve, but the question at hand is whether or not Lionsgate/Francis Lawrence approves.
He could be a good Brutus, but I always pictured him looking a little less old (or at least different hair color). That’s just me though
Other than that, he’s perfect!
he would be purfect. people say the world will end in dec. . if it does it will make me mad because i won’t be able to watch catching fire and mockingjay
