Future Projects

2014- A Most Wanted Man

2014- God's Pocket (also Producer)

2014- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

2015- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

For those wondering, he did complete filming on Mockingjay Part 1 and he was 99% done with Mockingjay Part 2. Lionsgate has stated that he had one scene left to film before being done so they will have to rework the scene to get the same emotional appeal without him being there. So no he will not be recast.
