00:08Games Mockingjay Part 2 due to a scheduling conflict.
00:12Enter Gwendolyn Christie, the actress who will replace her.
00:15So if you're not familiar with Gwendolyn, here are five fun facts.
00:19The English-born actress trained as a semi-professional gymnast as a kid, but after a spine injury
00:24forced her to quit, she took up acting.
00:26This girl is tall. I'm talking 6'3". She actually used to be bullied for her height.
00:32You may recognize her from Game of Thrones where she plays a bodyguard. You know, Brienne of Tarth.
00:36You'll die for this!
00:37No, no, wait! It wasn't her!
00:43And get this, she once considered being a nun. She told the Times,
00:47I had a very idealized idea of what silence, daily prayer, and harvesting vegetables from a walled garden might be.
00:53And she really doesn't mind her intimidating costume on Game of Thrones, and here's why.
00:57She also tells the Times,
00:58I do feel bloody amazing when I've got the armor on and I'm holding my sword.
01:02A sword is a very sexy thing. It's sexy overpowering a man.
01:06Sounds like she'll be a good fit for the Hunger Games franchise.
