Catching Fire Casting Rumor: Three Finalists for Finnick
by Matt Richenthal at .And then there were reportedly three.
Following the rumor that Robert Pattinson might portray Finnick Odair in Catching Fire - the wildly anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games - E! News now claims producers are either considering a relative newcomer... or one of the following three actors:
- Taylor Kitsch (Battleship, John Carter)
- Armie Hammer (The Social Network, Mirror Mirror)
- Garrett Hedlund (On the Road)

Considering the character - a previous champion of the titular annual competition in Suzanne Collins' best-selling novels - possesses both an incredible physique and a cocky, outgoing personality, Hammer seems like the ideal choice for the gig.
Do you agree? Which of these stars would you want to see as Finnick?

poo! i wanted channing tatum as him but wateva!!! :-/
I think that James Gaisford should be Finnick because he's SUPER hot but he's young and "inexperienced". It's true but he's a great actor! And I feel that none of them are that hot to play Finnick Odair!
I hope it's none of them. Finnick has to exude strength & confidence. Also, has to be gorgeous. I hope they take time in choosing this character. Finnick has to be able to fight off other Victors while carrying Mags up a steep hill. Later carry Peeta through dense fog, crippling every muscle.
