Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund: Who’s Up for Finnick Odair Role?

Rumor has it Armie Hammer (Mirror-Mirror), Taylor Kitsch (John Carter) and Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy) are the top three names that Lionsgate picks for Finnick Odair Role. Check out what E! Online said about it:

A source tells us at that the top three names being bantered about right now are Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund.

The source also says that a final decision from the studio may be announced as early as this week.

However, another source says the studio may also be looking at unknowns à la Brad Pitt in Thelma & Louise.

Filming is scheduled to begin in the fall with Francis Lawrence taking over the directing reigns from Gary Ross.

Catching Fire will be released on Nov. 22, 2013.

All three actors come with star status. Hammer will next be seen playing the title role in the Lone Ranger flick opposite Johnny Depp as Tonto. Tron Legacy‘s Hedlund was also a big Cannes Film Festival headline with the premiere of On The Road with Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst while Kitsch can currently be seen in Battleship.

Reps for the three did not comment.

A Lionsgate rep said, “As with the first film, we won’t be confirming, denying or commenting on any casting rumors for this title. We will announce news wide when there is official casting news to announce.”
