Philip Seymour Hoffman will be in the next “Hunger Games” movie.

As previously rumored, Hoffman will play Plutarch Heavensbee, the head gamemaker in the second “Games” film, “Catching Fire.” Lionsgate officially made the announcement yesterday.

Hoffman also will be seen later this year in “The Master,” in which he plays a man who doesn’t orchestrate a public death match, but does attempt to save Joaquin Phoenix’s soul.
