Kristen Bell on the cover of Self Magazine

Earlier this month Kristen Bell had a chat to the Huffington Post about her return to TV in House of Lies. In that interview she reveals that she’s totally hooked on The Hunger Games and even held a Hunger Games-themed birthday party.  And as part of her Hunger Games obsession, she’s let it be known that she’d  love to play Johanna in next year’s  sequel, Catching Fire.

Kristen is now being featured in the latest edition of Self Magazine and again says  how much she’d love to be in the next Hunger Games movie.

“In my dreams, I’d play Johanna Mason. Whether that’s going to happen, I can’t tell you. I’m going to throw my hat in the ring, don’t get me wrong.”

So, what do you think?  Does Kristen have what it takes to play Johanna?  Let us know in the comments below.

    Kristen is one of my favorite actresses, of course she should get the part!! And not only because she is talented, or because I love her, but also because she’s highly devoted to this movie and the books! Because of that, I think THG fans should speak up and request her as Mason. We can promote her campaign and help her get this part!

  2. Team Peeta! says:

    Totally agree with kine!
    kristen should play mason!

  3. Riley says:

    I’m totes on her side, i hope she tries out, she’d be amazing for her

  4. clove says:

    I think she’d be great as Johanna Mason, I would cast her for the part, but what if someone else is better?

  5. Hunger Games Crazy says:

    Kristen is an amazing person and actor!
    I’d say yes!♥

    Just a thought, what colour is Johanna’s hair? And isn’t like, all spiky in Catching Fire and shaved in Mockingjay?

  6. claudia says:

    I actually would really like to see Mila Kunis as Johanna. She would be more of what I pictured Johanna being and looking like.

    • nota realname says:

      me to right now im thinking mila or Naya rivera. People say its just because she is mean on glee, but idk she just looks the the part to me.

  7. Kat says:

    She’d be an amazing Johanna! Not only is she talented and would definitely fit the part (although I’d say she’d probably have to go brunette), as a massive fan of the Hunger Games you’d know she’d stay true to the character and be extremely dedicated to the role.

  8. Emily says:

    Kristen is a great actress but I cant see her playing Johanna.

  9. jayde says:

    Shes a great actress but I cant see her playing johanna. Johanna just has an anger to her that I don’t think Kristen could portray

  10. Love of Peeta says:

    I don’t know I’ve never seen her act but she looks a little too nice. I mean I’m pretty sure she could play mean but she just looks too nice. But you never know I didn’t like Josh as Peeta at first but now I have a fan crush on him.

    • Ivana says:

      Veronica Mars, Kristen’s best known role, was hardly “nice”. Her role as Elle on Heroes was anything but nice.
      I can’t imagine a more perfect actress to play Johanna, whatever her hair color is supposed to be (Jennifer Lawrence is naturally blonde and she’s the perfect Katniss).

  11. Josie says:

    First, i could’t see her as Johanna, but after a little consideration i really think it could fit her perfectly, i know she can pull off the attitude Johanna has and she’s an amazing actor to boot.

  12. Kat says:

    If you guys had seen her in Heroes, you would know that she has a killer anger streak. Her character was vicious!

  13. Alyssa says:

    to me i didnt picture her as johanaa AT ALL o,o i was thinking like selena gomez or smthing but shes great too c:

    • Ivana says:

      Selena Gomez? I’m pretty sure that Johanna is not supposed to look younger than Katniss and Peeta. Since she’s, you know, older than them by at least a few years.

  14. J says:

    she doesn`t match johanna at all !!

  15. Jen says:

    No, I don’t think so. haha
    Johanna has spiky brown hair and brown eyes and is rather short.
    And, isn’t she the one who pretended to be a weakling to win her games?

    Johanna seems small, but she has so much fight in her.
    I just don’t see Johanna’s ferocity at all in Kristin, plus she looks a bit too ‘girl-next-door’.
    Johanna, despite the tough attitude, also has a grief within her that runs deep.

    I imagine someone like Saoirse Ronan from ‘Atonement’ and ‘Hanna’

    • Ivana says:

      “And, isn’t she the one who pretended to be a weakling to win her games?

      Johanna seems small, but she has so much fight in her.”

      Yes, exactly. Kristen Bell is tiny and looks sweet, but her characters on Veronica Mars and Heroes were ferocious and had killer instinct for sure… the latter one literally.

  16. Mandiey says:

    I think she would be an okay Johanna, but I see Scout Taylor Compton ( Halloween and The Runaways) as Johanna in my head when I read the books!

  17. Hungergamefreak says:

    NOOOOOOOOOO JOHANNA IS NOT BLONDE!I dont imagine her as Johanna. NAYA FOR JOHANNA ;)
