Nava Rivera on being Johanna Mason in Catching Fire

Earlier this year, Glee actress Naya Rivera let it be known that she’s a huge fan of The Hunger Games and that she’d love to play Johanna in Catching Fire.  Entertainment Weekly recently put her forward as someone who was a potential fit for the part.

It seems that many of her fans like the idea too and have let Naya know that they’re right behind her.

In a new interview with Radar Online, she talks the support she’s received and how she’s long been a fan of The Hunger Games:

Q: Did you enjoy The Hunger Games?
I started reading the books before I even knew they were making it into a movie. I’m just a huge fan. I would love to play Johanna Mason. She’s the axe-wielding ex-tribute and former winner. She’s a grade-A badass!

Q: Are you surprised by the outpouring from fans?
It’s so exciting. I get tweets every day, and it feels good that they get behind something I’m passionate about.

So what do you think about Naya as Johann Mason?  We’d love to know what you think.

    I think that with Grant what’s his name from Glee looking to play finnick, I kind of don’t want Catching Fire to be a Glee reunion….while shed make a great Joanna…..and I can see him as Finnick, pick one Glee cast member :/

    She would be AMAZING!!! She can pull off all emotions and expressions really well and she is the only one that I can picture playing Johanna, while I was reading the books I ALWAYS pictured her as Johanna and if she doesn’t play her, myself along with 138 other may not be watching Catching Fire.
