My Hunger Games - Alex Pettyfer

Alex Pettyfer gets a big tick of approval from many fans of The Hunger Games as the actor they’d most like to play the character of Peeta Mellark in the upcoming movie.

And it seems they may get their wish, with word that the 20-year-old has talked to The Hunger Games movie director Gary Ross.

He talked about the possibility that he could play the role of Peeta Mellark to J-14

“I met with Lionsgate. I think Gary Ross is a great director,” he said. “I have [read the books]. I’m a very big fan. I just hope they can conquer the movie.”

Casting for The Hunger Games movie is in early days and there’s yet to be any announcements.  Filming should start later this spring for a release date set for March 23, 2012.

So do you want to see Alex Pettyfer in the role of Peeta?  Tell us what you think!

    I don’t know what people are smoking. I don’t see how he is Peeta *at all*.

  2. Kahlan Alanna says:

    noooo:(
    although he IS good-looking, he’s just too old to play peeta

  3. Erica says:

    He may look too old but anyone can look younger these days with make up and a good hair cut. I personally think he fits the role as Peeta perfectly. I hope he gets the part!

  4. Nick says:

    HELL NOO

  5. GoAskAlix says:

    Absolutely not. He’s gotta be Jace in Mortal Instruments. No, no, no. Plus, I love him and I’m Team Gale. So no.

  6. cat says:

    YES YES YES! He is perfect for Peeta no mater what. Seriously. And truthfully if you don’t think that they can make him look younger your smoking.
    Peeta – Alex Pettyfer
    Katniss – kaya scodelario
    just saying :)

  7. meg says:

    YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is sooo perfect its not evan funny and katniss should be kaya scodelario!!!! just saying :) :D

  8. Morgan H says:

    I think he can play Peeta, anyone can look younger with some make-up. His eyes aren’t the right color but that can be changed with contacts, and I’m okay with anyone but Kristen Stewart playing Katniss.

  9. Kenia says:

    OMG!!! Yes yes yes!!!he is the perfect bread boy. No matter what people say about his age he is so perfect for the role. Plus with a few proffesionals, he could actually look younger. He is just perfect!!

    Team petta all the way<3

  10. Marcia says:

    OMG NO!!!!!!!!! He’s too pretty boy and old…Peeta’s supposed to be 16 not 20…maybe finnick except for his blue eyes.

  11. LMB123 says:

    idk he is a great actor and i would LOVE him for peeta, but he is 20. if he can look 16 then im all for it!:)

  12. Nick says:

    ^^^^ ALL OF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT……
    HE IS THE WORST PEETA I HAVE EVER SEEN…..WILLIAM MOSELEY IS BETTER THAN HIM….BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE PEOPLE WE HAVENT HEARD OF YET!!

  13. Micaela says:

    In looks, I think he’s my favourite choice.
    But concerning his British accent…………….
    Yeah, that’s not gonna work.

  14. Twinkletoes says:

    Um… Are you kidding me.? William Moseley for Peeta instead of Alex pettyfer? Noway. Peeta should be stocky built, or at least look it . And Alex could look young with makeup and stuff

  15. Irine says:

    a bit too old for Peeta

  16. Nick says:

    Micaela…..are you talking about William Moseley and if you are, he can talk in a American/Canadian Accent if he has to.

  17. Aani says:

    I love Alex, but not for Peeta. I feel like he’s too old for him, and I’m also hoping that he’ll accept the offer for the role of Jace in the Mortal Instruments instead. I agree that the cast should be mostly made up of unknown actors and actresses.

  18. Becca says:

    YES! Here’s a great Peeta! He may seem a little old, but the technology and makeup they have nowadays should cover it. I think he is a greatly experienced actor who can totally bring the right emotions to the character. And he just looks so Peetaish!

  19. marissa says:

    ugh noooo! please nooo. 20 is too old for the 16 year old boyish Peeta. and he’s in 2 new movies!! Beastly, and I am number four. I want a new face that I can call Peeta <3

  20. Morgan H says:

    I think that the cast should
    Be made up from unknown actors and actresses because it just seems right.

  21. Anonymous says:

    This needs to be a cast (for the lead roles) of unknowns! Open auditions! This guy looks too old and I don’t think he’s right AT ALL!! No way!!! Gale, Peeta, and Katniss need to be teenagers because that’s the whole point, teenagers battling to death. If it’s not, it’s just like any other movie.

  22. Biebs says:

    YES! TOTALLYY!! ALEX PETTYFER IS THE RITE PEETA!!! <3

  23. Sara says:

    I think he would be a great FINNICK ODAIR,but not Peeta

  24. Sandija says:

    Perfect!!!!!!<3
    love it.

  25. Alley says:

    Heck yes!! He can talk in an American accent just fine and with a little make up and contacts they can make him look 16!! i mean look at Robert pattinson he’s 24 But he look 30 and he’s playing a 17 yr old! A defiant yes for me:) Team Peeta!

  26. julia says:

    NO! he’s way too old!

  27. Zireael says:

    Yes, yes, yes! He can seem too old, but he looks exatcly like Peeta, so please, give him this part!

  28. callie says:

    oh god no! alex pettyfer can not play peeta. i agree with marissa. i want somebody new that can be called peeta. i also agree with morgan. a whole new cast would be perfect

  29. Troy says:

    He’s too old. He has roles. Give it to someone who hasn’t. Someone who rises from out of no where, like Peeta. Goodness. Can we have a young hearthrob, one that doesn’t seem to be about our dad’s age (even though he’s not. WHY can’t we have a nice, smart, good looking fourteen, fifteen year old? I’m tired of crushing on old people. I want young meat, someone my age who I can actually admire.

  30. HGFAN says:

    hes good.. whoever keeps thinking william mosely your smoking sumtin.. all you haters just except it and stop complaining besides its not definite yet..

  31. Pocahontas. says:

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  32. Pocahontas. says:

    i agree that all those who believe Pettyfer would make a good petta are smoking something.

  33. Scalper says:

    i dont agree with pocahontas. i think she’s not intelligent at all

  34. Anita says:

    lol he’s ok but i agree w/ GoAskAlix, he’s perfect for Jace in the Mortal Instruments.

    like everyone else said, he’s too old but these days, all actors are too old for their roles =/ if he’s that old, Gale will have to be older.

  35. Lance says:

    NO! He is too old for the part and he’s to fierce to be Peeta. He’s too well known to be Peeta as well, they need someone “unknown” for Peeta and Katniss, or otherwise they’d just be too compared to the other roles they have been in. Make-up can fix many things now-a-days, but you can’t get him to act like he’s in high school anymore. He’s grown out of those roles now. Sorry to some of his major fans, but I say no.

  36. Daisy says:

    It’s possible. I certainly wouldn’t mind if he was Peeta, but if he wasn’t I wouldn’t be chucking a tantrum or anything. He could look the part, but acting as a sweet, naïve boy will be a challenging task for him that he might want to consider. He’s done a lot of hero or anti-hero roles so for him to be able to pull that off will be a challenge.

    But yes, I do agree with a lot of other people, a whole completely unknown cast is a great idea! This will be the only chance for some actors out there, and I think those people really deserve it. For me, completely unknown sounds really good. Those people will get a really good shot at the entertainment industry. For those who are relatively unknown, sure, I wouldn’t complain, but if we’re going to have unknowns, I think it’d be better to give the completely unknown actors a shot because sometime, now or later, those who are relatively unknown can have their shot, but for now, I think it’d be a great idea to have a whole new cast.

    So, whatever they do, I won’t complain, and I look forward to the movie, whatever the case.

  37. POCAHONTAS says:

    From what I’ve seen in the trailers for I Am Number Four i think he has alot of potential, however he does seem a little old for the part of Peeta.

  38. ngmoore5146 says:

    Chloe Moretz as Katniss. She’s the one. She 14 and looks at least 16. She’ll need the least amount of rehearsal because of her action role as Hit Girl, and her dramatic role in Let Me In. Also she’s just come of the Scorise Hugo fiilm. Her appearing in this role will help the success of the films

  39. AnnaRose says:

    I think he would be a better Finnick, but make-up and stuff can make a person look so much younger.
    GAWD. I LOVE PEETA. :D

  40. Toyosi B says:

    Personally, Alex Pettyfer is my second choice for Peeta. My first is Lucas Till……and don’t dare start this whole “oh he’s not good…” blah, blah, blah…
    ‘Kay? Good! Thanks!
    B HUNGRy :P

  41. Shan says:

    Hmm I don’t know =/ He just doesn’t have that sweet humble look I imagine Peeta to have. And Peeta’s appearance isn’t supposed to be so “smoking hot”. I think Peeta should have a softer hotness :) Gale is the babe.

  42. Lia says:

    YES YES YES YES YES he was my first choice for peeta since the beginnging, i showed his to my friends and they agreed he is a total peeta, of course they can make him look younger and hes amazing! hes PERFECT

  43. Jana says:

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! my dream come true!(along with someother friends). A lot of people like alex pettyfer to be peeta…i know you guys are saying he looks to old, but with the technology these days and the makeup and all…they will make it work..just think of how he looked in Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

  44. HGFAN says:

    i agree with jana and lia..u two r right..i just wish those haters would stop complaining..hes good .. theres a few others who would be suitable, but hes great..also it sucks that hugh laurie might not be able to play haymitch(hes-the-best-choice) robert downey jr. would be ok..

  45. paige says:

    i think he would be a great peeta.. if you did choose someone new and hasnt played a big part in movies before how can you expect them to be any good? besides he has the build for peeta and who cares about the age its all about the way they are presented in the film. i would love it if he was peeta<3

  46. varshvarsh says:

    nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! well actually its not such a bad idea but i think he would make a better Gale.

  47. Nick says:

    Hes not going to be in it since hes in 2 other movies already, Just Sayin

  48. HUGE Hunger games fan says:

    YES!! THEY CAN MAKE HIM LOOK YOUNGER, RETARDS!
    I LUV U ALEX PETTYFER! BE PEETA! NOBODY ELSE!!!

  49. HUGE Hunger games fan says:

    Nick, just because somebody has been in other movies, doesn’t mean they can’t be an actor anymore…Einstein..Jeez

  50. Bob says:

    He is all wrong for peeta

    he’s jsut some stupid pretty boy

    people are focusing too much on the fact that he needs to be good looking rather than the actual description and characterization.

  51. HGFAN says:

    all the haters be quiet

  52. katty says:

    i LOVE him for Peeta. he is so cute and is exactly like i pictured him and he can look younger with makeup duh. the only thing is his british accent. then again he could take diction classes. so i am a YYYEEEEESSSSSS

  53. Nick says:

    HUGE Hunger games fan……. I Never siad he couldnt act again im just saying he should take a break…..
    Einstein
    Geez (<—— Mocking you)

  54. Nick says:

    I dont want to get in a fight or anything im just saying i think he should let someone else take the role, Unknown actors……..

  55. HGFAN says:

    you guys have a point.. but he hasnt had a bunch of “major” roles and an unknown probaly wouldn’t be as good besides if gary ross agrees then i do..at least u guys(orgirls) didnt suggest william mosely ..personally hes a bad choice ..anyways if he does pick alex just be happy ..it really matters how they do on the movie

  56. HGFAN says:

    and the games have begun…..lol

  57. Nick says:

    I’d personaly want William Mosely than Alex Pettyfer

  58. cote says:

    He’s “too sexy” and kind of a bad boy to play Peeta… I mean.. Peeta’s good-looking but he’s the sweet boy next door… Gale is the one who’s supossed to be “sexy and rebel” … I don’t know if you get my point! lol! Lucas Till would be perfect though

  59. LUCIE says:

    I THINK ALL OF THE CHARICTORS IN THE BOOKS SHOULD BE PLAYED BY PEOPLE WE HAVE NEVER HEED OF BEFORE, AND MAKING IT SEEM LIKE THERE MORE REAL !!!!!!!

  60. Nick says:

    BUT WILLIAM MOSELEY SHOULD BE PEETA

  61. Nicholas says:

    ^ Yes Peeta has to be William Moseley

  62. Amber says:

    ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! GET SOMEONE YOUNGER AND MORE ATTRACTIVE, I THINK OF PEETA AS MORE THE GUY WHO PLAYED ERAGON!!!! D: < how bout him? D: < i think his name is ed speleers or something i dont know..

  63. anonymous says:

    YES!!! HE is PERFECT for Peeta! He is blond just like the book says and almost perfectly like i imagined him! =)
    I hope he gets the part! He is PERFECT!

  64. Syd says:

    Lucie, the thing is, that the movie makers couldn’t make as much money as they want to without big names, and guys who are mega sexy. Let’s face it people, Hugh Laurie is mostly likely to be Haymitch, Kaya S, for Katniss, and Peeta for the one and only, (Sexyst man in the world) Alex Pettyfur, he’s big this year. Oh and Chloe WOULD SUCK for Katniss. So would GABRIEL! I know that guy is smexy but he wouldn’t look good with blond hair and he ain’t no such thing on his body as stocky and I don’t know, to young, Chloe looks like she is freaking 5. Kaya! Alex! Hugh!

  65. Syd says:

    PS He just look badboy right there in that pic

  66. steve says:

    March 2012 cannot come soon enough!! Dying to see The Hunger Games movie already. The whole series was amazing to read I can’t wait to see who’s cast in the movie! http://on.fb.me/gXrImz

  67. Lindsey says:

    I kinda think that he would Work I mean I know
    That he can make him younger but I guess that
    He could possibly work

  68. That Dude says:

    Hell No, He Is to Friken Old!
    Everybody that thinks alex is better than William Moseley is smokin somethin

  69. That Dude says:

    I Agree with lace,
    No!

  70. Martina says:

    Yes! I love Alex and Peeta is my favorite character of the books. I would be so happy if Alex got the part! Can’t wait for the movie to come out!

  71. emily says:

    I think personally that Chord Overstreet would be the PERFECT PEETA! Just saying.

  72. I says:

    Erica, Cat, Meg, Morgan H, Kenia, LMB123, Twinkletoes, Becca, Biebs, Sandija, Alley, Zireael, HGFAN, Scalper, paige, HUGE Hunger games fan, Katty, anonymous, Syd, and especially Lia u all hav AWSOME taste!!!!!!!!!! Alex is the Peeta of my dreams and he has been ever since I saw my first trailer. I’m totally obsessed!

  73. I says:

    20 years old is not that old and really at this time and age makeup can do anything. By the way Nick u didn’t need to tell me Alex is talented. I FIGURED THAT OUT MYSELF!!!!!!!! : )

  74. I says:

    Steve I’m with u. Totally am psyched about the movie. Finnished all three books in less then a week.MARCH 23, 2012 can not come fast enough!!!!!!!!!!

  75. I says:

    Alex Pettyfer=Peeta Mellark
    Kaya Scodelario=Katniss Everdeen

    It’s perfect because they bother sort of have accents so it is sort of District 12 accent.

  76. I says:

    Dear GoAskAlix,

    Why do u care who plays Peeta? Leave the decision to those on Team Peeta. Please and Thank U!
    I<3PEETA

  77. Sara says:

    No! He’s a horrible actor.

  78. I LUV HG says:

    OMG Alex Pettyfer is the most perfect person I can ever think of to be Peeta. I also think that since Kaya Scodelario is 18 she and Alex would be perfect as the ‘star crossed lovers’ in the games.

  79. HungerGamesFan says:

    ALEX PETYFR should totally be Peeta. he is the most perfect guy to play PEETA. Kaya Scodelario should totally Katniss. I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES.

  80. Emily says:

    I say Alex Pettyfer for Finnick, assuming they get around to making a Catching Fire film. Listen, I love Peeta, but he’s not supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous like Pettyfer is. Google Image “Alex Pettyfer shirtless,” and then try and tell me that you don’t want to see him in Catching Fire wearing nothing but a net. ;)

  81. Jess says:

    I think Alex Pettyfer is great. I used to imagine Peeta chubbier.

  82. I says:

    I could’nt agree more with u on Alex Pettyfer in a net, but I would start sobbing if I had to see him die. Anyways to me Peeta is supposed to be drop dead and who would do that better then Alex.

  83. I says:

    Whoever <3 Peeta say I!!!!

    " I "

  84. I says:

    Katniss: Kaya Scodelario
    Peeta: Alex Pettyfer = )
    Gale: Drew Roy(but i seriously don’t care)
    Haymitch: Johnny Depp
    Effie: Kristin Chenoweth
    Rue: Alana Locke
    Primrose: Elle Fanning
    Cato: Jake Abel
    Clove: Jana Kramer
    Thresh: Jared Padalecki
    Glimmer: Taylor Swift (why not?LOL)
    Mrs. Everdeen: Julie Bowen
    President Snow: Jack Nicholson
    Foxface: Emma Stone
    Avox Girl: Boonie Wright
    Cinna: Hugh Dancey

    Please Post Your Cast To Compare.THX!!!!

  85. I says:

    Hey ThatDude,

    First off William Moseley is 24 years old and totally ugggggly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second don’t use such bad language there could be little ears listening!!!!!!!!!

  86. Charlene says:

    I LOVE ALEX! i think hes a great actor for Peeta!

  87. Tal says:

    No. When I think of Peeta I think of eyes that you can melt into. A kind and sweet face that can turn deadly if he gets protective. This guy is not Peeta.

  88. Annalisa says:

    I personally think that he should NOT be peeta I mean I think William Mosely looks like a peeta, look at this picture of him, its perfect:

    http://annalisasamantha.weebly.com/hunger-games.html

  89. Annalisa says:

    o and buy the way, wouldn’t orlando bloom be an awesome cinna?

  90. emily says:

    Peeta = CHORD OVERSTREET

  91. Jean says:

    HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE’S A MEAN MEAN PERSON. PEETA IS KIND THIS ROTTON MAN IS WOODEN AND NASTY. HE WILL RUIN THE MOVIE AND THE KIND SWEET PEETA

  92. HGFAN(4LIFE) says:

    not william mosely! i mean if you sayin alex is to old look at frickin william mosely! hes not even that good….

  93. HGFAN(4LIFE) says:

    most fans want alex so theyll probaly pick alex..i mean duh .. it only makes sense now if they picked sum1 else(NOTMR.MOSELY)
    id be okay depending on who it is…who agrees?

  94. HGFAN(4LIFE) says:

    one more comment sum people want steve martin for president snow….HECK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  95. callie says:

    emily, i totally agree with you. chord is AMAZING

  96. Victoria says:

    Yess! I’m not the only one who pitured CHORD OVERSTREET. Damn, he would be the perfect Peeta!
    No, I don’t see Alex in it at all

  97. Grace says:

    i think he is too old and i don’t want the movie to be british
    i want it to be american and besides peeta has blue eyes not brown
    i think chord overstreet might be a good peeta only because he is so nice and gentle on glee.

  98. Grace says:

    I, i personally think it should be a american cast not british and kaya is not the right role for katniss
    Peeta definitely equals chord overstreet

  99. Anna says:

    Too old. Too pretty. I always pictured a younger Jeremy Sumpter as Peeta (he’s too old now) because he is beautifully expressive.

    They need to get someone who’s 15-16 now so that when fliming comes around they’ll be the right age!

  100. Mel says:

    NOOOO WAY! I MEAN LIKE…ARE U KIDDING ME?! Alex soooooo does not suit Peeta….and us haterz have the right to complainn! comon we need new people! unknown people for the parts

  101. Mel says:

    too old…too old

    hunger games fan 4life <3 lool

  102. Anik says:

    I like him, but there’s one problem.. he’s 20 years old.
    In the first book, aren’t they both only around 15? He looks too old! They’re still supposed to be kids, not even done puberty!

  103. I says:

    Chord for Peeta is worse then being Team Gale. I mean u guys seriously. . . Peeta’s supposed to hav curlyish blond hair and a firm strong look. And thats almost exactly Alex.
    i still can’t believe how perfect he is and anyway how do u know chord would want the part. After all Alex has already talked to the director about the part and there are lots of fans who really want him to be Peeta(including me).
    And he already has an american accent and Kaya can work on it. They would so look cute together for this movie. : )
    (also thank u Charlene 4 agreeing with me. u hav great taste! ; )

  104. Anik says:

    Please, no. He looks too old. I always imagined Peeta as really boyish and youthful. This guy is good looking, but he looks… not 16. Even with make-up it would strike me as fake.

  105. Olivia says:

    YES OMG! HES PERFECT! IF THEY DONT CAST HIM THE HUNGER GAMES ARE GOING TO BE RUINED! :S

  106. I says:

    It’s soooooo typical I mean if u say someone’s 19 their not old, but if u say someone’s 20 then they r. Whats up with that.
    How do u know it would look fake?U haven’t seen the movie. just sayin. . .

  107. Christine says:

    He’d be a better Finnick

  108. Anik says:

    I don’t mean he’s old OLD, I just think that he doesn’t have the boyish look I would personally like to see. Even someone who was 19 would have to look a lot younger to convincingly pull it off. I’m still hoping they pick someone closer to Peeta’s age in the books.
    Sorry if I offended you.

  109. I says:

    Anik,
    U didn’t offend me.I’m also sorry beacause every1 can hav their own opinion and ours are just different.(i’m really strong with mine as u can see ; ) I also wish they could find a perfect Peeta. . but to me Alex was the closest i could get.No one could be as perfect as Peeta.(thx 4 thinking of me) Friends???????

  110. Anik says:

    Friends :)

    The movie industry has just ruined so many of my favorite books (Eragon!) that I’m so skeptical now…

  111. I says:

    Some of my books hav been ruined to(Percy Jackson:Lightning Theif). It’s so sad when that happens. : (

  112. I says:

    It’s good to be friends!!!!!!!

    I<3PEETA
    I<3HUNGERGAMES

  113. Hindy says:

    NO! NO! I think he’s way to old and if Katniss was someone like Hailee Steinfeld (who is my favourite so far) it would just be creepy having such a huge age difference.

  114. Alvee says:

    hell yeah!!!!!!!!!
    he is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
    and he will be a perfect Peeta!!!!!!!!

  115. aldrin says:

    suddenly… alex has to get every movie franchise of great new books this year. heard it was also rumored he’d take the lead for the mortal instruments… i mean, wouldn’t it be ridiculous if almost all of our loved books be played by alex in movies… nothing against him really but if all these franchises will push through (hopefully), i really dont know. the hunger games trilogy, the mortal instruments and not to mention the beastly movie and the Lorien Legacies I am Number Four which would also be a series.. imagine that all played by him

  116. Peeta's better says:

    Okay, no offense to Alex P. Or any of his fans, but he is not Peeta. He is Jayce Wayland. No matter how hard I try, I can not see Alex as Peeta. I mean Chord Overstreet is more of a Peeta then him. Plus as much as I love Alex, I don’t really care for his acting and I think he might kill Peeta’s roll. He’d be a way better Finnick or Cato or something. If were casting Peeta here we need to have either an unknown, Chord, or someone like Callan McAuliff. Heck, I would rather see Freddie Stroma or Lucas Till play Peeta rather than Alex. No offense.

  117. Joden says:

    Well those videos were really good even if he is British you guys are just going with the book.I think he’ll do good :) Unknown actors and actressess will be good to :)

  118. krista says:

    I think Alex Pettyfer is perfect to play the role of Peeta

  119. I says:

    I just saw Beastly. couldn’t even tell he has an accent.(even though his accent is totally hot; ) Still <3 him for Peeta!

    GAWD PEETA IS MY DREAM GUY!!!!! LUV HIM!!!! CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!!!!!!

  120. Peeta's better says:

    It all depends on who plays Katniss. If they pick someone around the age of Hailee Steinfield(14) or Chloe Moretz(14), they have to go with someone younger like Callan McAuliffe(16) because having a twenty year old like Alex or a guy like Hunter Parish would be downright awkward and kind of disturbing. However, if they pick someone like Jeniffer Lawrence or Kaya S, they would obviously have to pick an older dude because having McAuliffe play Peeta would be weird. So it really depends on how old the actress who plays Katniss is.

  121. I says:

    I want Kaya Scodelario to play Katniss and she is 18. Like I said before I think they would look good as a couple.(peeta & katniss) Chloe would be a horrible mistake as katniss!
    Alex Pettyfer=Peeta Mellark
    Kaya Scdelario=Katniss Everdeen

  122. Jen says:

    I think hes perfect he has a bakers son look to him I honestly think peeta does look older than the other boys

  123. chloe says:

    yes yes yes yes yes !!!!!!!!!!!! if you dont put him in the role i will be so mad hes perfect and cute and love his british accent so cute!!!!

    THX for agreeing Jen, and u r right. He kinda does hav a bakers son look to him. Anyways people almost always cast actors and actresses that are a little older then the people in the book(percy jackson:lightning thief). Especially in movies that are pretty violent our can be a little inappropriatre.

    I can’t wait until Hot Topic comes out with TEAM PEETA shirts. I’m going to go crazy.

    PEETA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just thought of Ed Speleers from Eragon. Think he could manage?

  126. Brooke says:

    This is the worst idea he doesn’t even look like Peeta and it will take him away frome playing his true role of Jace Herondale for the City of Bones Movie!

  127. casey says:

    I want Alex Pettyfer so badly to be Peeta. I even changed his name to Peetafer. omg my dream come true!

  128. casey says:

    My Alex Peetafer……………..

  129. casey says:

    Someone get this one out of my system, I cant sleep, I can’t eat,

    when are they going to release the movie?!

  130. I says:

    LOL!!!!!!!! Peetafer! Luv it!
    The movies coming out on May 23, 2012.
    He may be a good Jace, but he would be a better Peeta! (by faaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!)

  131. I says:

    Ed Speleers. . . I’m not really seeing it. :(

  132. I says:

    OMG!!!!! I was just on another website and they just posted who is going to play Katniss. Jennifer Laurence. I really don’t care as long as they can make her look right for the part.

  133. mona mammen says:

    noooooooooooooooo for the peeta role, he has to be blond nd blue eyes.

  134. I says:

    He has blonde hair and he’s worn blue contacts before(Beastly) (Alex Rider Operation:Stormbreaker)

    Yes, he’s great and he could be Peeta. :)
    Im just saying… :D
    But if Alex will get the role of Peeta, they will have to use a little bit (Ok maybe more than a little bit) make up!

    Just saying… :D

    copy and paste from other site:

    With Lawrence instilled at Katniss, Ross’ Peeta will likely be announced soon. Alex Pettyfer, Hunter Parrish, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth have all expressed interest in the Peeta role, but none of them seems particularly right for it. Pettyfer doesn’t have the charm needed for the role. Hutcherson doesn’t look the part. Parrish doesn’t seem grounded enough. And, while Hemsworth wouldn’t be a terrible choice, they could do much better. Austin Butler, for example, would be a fantastic choice, as would Chord Overstreet if he didn’t have the Glee tour this summer.

  138. Amanda says:

    Chord Overstreet is pretty much like Peeta. I have seen peeta mellark photo and chord. First reaction, i though they were twins.
    Reading chord’s bio, he is Peeta!

    kinda want to post it here after i read an article from WESLEYAMBRECHT

    I sooooooo wish they would change their minds about Katniss :(
    (Jennifers cheek bones are way to. . .HUGE!)

    Kaya Scodelario for Katniss!!!!!!!!!

  141. peeta fan! says:

    hell yea he is perfect to play peeta just a little 2 old though
    but still think he should playy it <3 peeta <3

  142. charlie says:

    R U ALL IDIOTS! Jus cause he looks old doesen’t mean makeup can’t make him look younger. When i saw his picture up top I didn’t recognize him. Look at him in I am number four much younger and better looking. People that say JOSH HUCHERSON should play the role are gay! The girl playing Katniss looks like she can take him. Peeta in the book is very stern and muscular as he worked in the bakery with ovens as they described in book 1! And Josh doesent even have blond hair!!! And THE GUY FROM I AM NUMBER FOUR TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE PEETA. THE PICTURE UP TOP IS DIFFERENT HE HAS SHORTER HAIR NOW JUST TYPE HIS NAME INTO GOOGLE!!

  143. annalee says:

    i really like alex pettyfer <3 but i think they should really put in some unknown actrs and actreses that would make it bettr
    just sayin

  144. alex says:

    yes yes yes! YES … SEE? HE’S PERFECT ENOUGH WITH JOSH HUTCHERSON!!!!!!!!!

  145. Keary says:

    Alex Pettyfer is such a better Peeta than Josh Hutcherson!!!! Josh does look the part at all! And Josh and Alex are about the same age soo… why does it matter? Haha buut seriously. Alex Pettyfer is gorgeous and just has that Peeta look. I love Alex Pettyfer as Peeta!!!!!!

  146. betsy says:

    I really really really really like alex pettyfer but he just doesnt seem right for the part of Peeta. sure he can get a make over and stuff but to me he’s better for finnick odair. if they decide to choose him for peeta, i’ll be happy with their decision :)

  147. PEETA! says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO! He just doesn’t look like a peeta at all!
    Josh Hutcherson!!!!
