As for Aggeliki, we don’t know anything about her really, as for Wasikowska, she definitely has our vote, even though we think that the role of Joanna, isn’t quite right for this bright young star, she might just surprise with a flawless performance as she always seems to deliver.  

Here's some information on the character for those of you not familiar:

Johanna Mason is the female victor of one of the Hunger Games (the exact Games she won is unknown) from District 7. She was one of the youngest tributes in the Quarter Quell. She is the last living female victor of District 7, whose principal industry is lumber.

In the Hunger Games that she won, Johanna pretended to be a weakling, feigning hunger and fatigue, when in reality she was sly and cunning, described by Katniss as having a "wicked ability to murder". Johanna is proficient with axes, as she comes from District 7, where the main industry is lumber.
