Taylor Kitsch has told the LA Times that he is not playing Finnick Odair in Catching Fire.
According to LA Times:
With
casting for the second installment of "The Hunger Games" franchise
underway, fans of the dystopian sci-fi series have been breathlessly
debating who will play an integral character in "Catching Fire."
Finnick Odair, described by author Suzanne Collins as an Adonis-like
womanizer, first appears in "Catching Fire" and has a complex
relationship with heroine Katniss Everdeen. So admirers of the series
were thrown into a tizzy this week when E! News reported that filmmakers had narrowed down the casting to three heartthrobs: Taylor Kitsch, Armie Hammer and Garrett Hedlund.
But you can knock one of those dreamboats off the list, because
Kitsch says he won't be joining the cast of the mega-successful film
series.
"Not going to happen," the 31-year-old actor wrote in an email on
Wednesday. Kitsch, who is coming off the poor box office performance of
the big-budget films "John Carter" and "Battleship," would seem to have
fit the bill for the athletic, good-looking character.
As for "The Lone Ranger" star Hammer and "TRON: Legacy" lead Hedlund,
the studio behind the franchise, Lionsgate, said it would not confirm,
deny or comment on any casting in progress.
