 johanna mason    Emma Stone Flattered to Be Fan Favorite for Playing Johanna   johannamasonemmastone1 600x402Cinema Blend writer Perri Nemiroff recently sat down with Emma Stone to discuss her role as Gwen Stacy in “The Amazing Spider-Man” and talk strayed from web-slinging heroes to a familiar axe-throwing District 7 Tribute: Johanna Mason. It comes as no surprise that one of the hottest actresses around is considered by many fans as a great choice to play Johanna, but is she even interested?

“She’s naked, like, all the time!” the actress exclaimed with a laugh. Emma Stone went on to say that she is a big fan of the “Hunger Games” series and loved the first movie, but remained elusive as to whether she would audition for the part or not.

In the books, Johanna is described as having spiky hair and wide set brown eyes. During her first Games as a Tribute, Johanna appeared weak and unfit for the Arena, and the remaining Tributes didn’t realize this was merely a strategy until she took to murdering them with her throwing axes. She is sarcastic, sassy, and ruthless, but ended up being a close friend and ally to Katniss due to her rebellious attitude toward the Capitol.

I can see Emma Stone as Johanna. The makeup and costume department would take care of the look, and Stone definitely possesses the capacity to bring every aspect of Johanna’s story and personality to life. As was mentioned in this article, Emma Stone’s comedic abilities can certainly lend to portraying Johanna’s sardonicism and brashness. Likewise, she has experience acting in drama (“The Help”) and action (“The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Zombieland”) movies, so she could certainly handle the emotion and physicality of the role.

How about it, HG fans? Yea or nay?

    “Yea or Nay?” Nay. I love Emma stone (and Kristen Bell for that matter), but neither of them would fit the part. Johanna needs to be big and strong and athletic, and both woman don’t have any of those qualities. They would make Johanna just too sweet, and she has a lurid/intense character that makes quite a scene. She just simply can’t be to petite, small and cute-looking. It doesn’t fit.

    • Godsgirls2597

      Not really. The book says that she is small and not seemingly able to kill like she does.

      • Lyh97

        shes too pretty to be johanna

  • Guest

    Yeah, totally!  She would be a perfect Johanna!

    • Biggest Hunger Games Fan

      UUUUHHHHHH……..GUYS? we all know emma stone is a great actor but johanna needs to look itimtading……….emma stone looks too…………feminine for this part. they need to find someone who can easily have johanna’s cocky personallity.

      • Silverbow&arrow

        Its so true with all of the things that happen in the elevators and in the traning room she DOES need that kind of personality. They need to find an outgoing actress to play johanna. Its hard but they can do it!!!

  • Jenna

    Mila Kunis should be playing Johanna :(

    • Tributeforlife

      yes thats what i was thinking

  • I<3THG

    I think she could look like Johanna (with some help from the makeup department) but I don’t know if she could handle Johanna personality wise. I also don’t like the fact that she’s a known actress. It might be better if they had an unknown play her.

  • ARayOfSunshine(Nida)

    I think Jena Malone would be great for the role, well there are some rumours. I would be more than happy if she get the role, she is one of my fave actress and really talented. love her in all her movies! She is tough and a real artist.

  • Ellehcim17

    Yeah!

  • guest323

    OMGGGG!!!!! YES!! SHE WOULD BE THE PERFECT JOHANNA!!!

  • ME

    Totally YES!

  • Guest

    yay! 

  • Alyssathomas27

    If you check IMDB, it has Mia Wasikowska down for Johanna, but it says “rumored” next to it.

    • Callista

      It’s only a rumor- it’s confirmed that she’s not Johanna, and even if she were offered it, she wouldn’t be able to take the role, because of conflicting shooting schedules. 

  • c1

    I don’t want any actress that’s really well known.  These big parts should be molded by relative unknowns IMO.  I like Emma Stone, but she is about as far from the part as I could possibly imagine.  I like Jena Malone much better.

  • Briana

    Yes of course. She xan look lik it and cuz she is an amazing actress. She will fit that personality. Also in the book, she is supposed to look like a innocent young lady. Not lik a freakin serial killer. Damn. Emma Stone is perfect

  • Tributeforlife

    I love emma stone but i dont think she will be right for the roll of Johanna
    Johanna is someone who is tough and strong and I don’t see Emma Stone portraying Johanna…Like Finnick, the person who plays Johanna has to be perfect :)

  • Xx

    when i was reading catching fire i imagine kate beckinsale but im not sure if she would be perfect for the age. i really like her being Johanna Mason. i like Emma Stone as a choice for her but not sure about it!

  • Tributeforlife

    People are saying Kristen Bell
    to be honest I dont she’ll be a very good Johanna she just seems to nice and easy-going but dont get me wrong i love kristen Bell. I also wonder who might be playing mags, beetee or wiress

  • Emily

    Mila Kunis…

  • Lilly9oo1

    She would be a good johanna mason as for her looks, but the real question is is that can she fit the role PSYCHALLY in the arena. They did a great job with peeta katniss and haymitch in the first movie but im very excited to see catching fire!

  • THGR!!

    She would be perfect!

  • MockingJay

    Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses but I have to say no. She just is too nice! And I would hate seeing her in short spiky hair
