The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is forced to recast Commander Lyme and picks up a Game of Thrones star!

It has unfortunately been announced that due to a scheduling conflict actress Lily Rabe has had to step down from her role of Commander Lyme for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. 

This may cause some awkward moments since Rabe was able to shoot The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 but will be changed to a different actress for Part 2.

The role of Commander Lyme was picked up by actress Gwendoline Christie who is currently best known for her role on HBO's Game of Thrones as Brienne. Christie definitely fits the description of Commander Lyme better than Rabe does and we know from Game of Thrones that she can certainly have the badass warrior look.

Are you upset that Lily Rabe has had to step down from the role? Do you think that Gwendoline Christie will be a convincing Commander Lyme?
