Sam Claflin builds hype for new 'Hunger Games' prequel for Finnick's arc - Geo News

Sam Claflin is a Hunger Games fan as much as a Hunger Games star and he believes there is an aspect of the series which is still left unexplored.

The 40-year-old actor pitched a prequel focusing on his character Finnick Odair, and his past life before he tragically dies in Mocking Jay, in a new interview. 

While fans would love to see the Love, Rosie star reprise his role, he maintained that he is now too old to play the character who was one of the youngest tributes to have won the games.

However, Claflin noted that he would love to return as Odair's dad, while a younger actor gets to explore the character.

Excited fans flocked to X, and wrote, "I definitely believe Suzanne is writing Finnick’s book next."

Another added, "You either die a tragic fan-favorite tribute, or live long enough to play your own father in the inevitable prequel."

A third chimed in, "Omg yes, please," and "omggg," as well as "love this idea."
