Miller will join the cast as Commadaner Paylor, described as the leader among the rebels who later becomes the President.
“She looks young to be a commander. Early thirties. But there is an authoritative tone in her voice that makes you feel [that] her appointment wasn’t arbitrary.”
―Katniss Everdeen about Commander Paylor
Among the cast she joins are several Academy Award winners including Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen), along with Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark), Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Plutarch Heavensbee), Julianne Moore (Alma Coin), Natalie Dormer (Cressida), Stef Dawson (Annie Cresta), Evan Ross (Messalla) and Lily Rabe (Commander Lyme).
