Pattinson isn't in the Hunger Games II

Persistent rumors suggested Robert Pattinson would appear in "The Hunger Games" sequel. But the actor who gave a riveting performance in Cronenberg's latest movie, "Cosmopolis", is at great pains to rid himself of his image as a teenage heartthrob. An image he can't quite shake off thanks to the "Twilight" saga. Unsurprisingly, Robert Pattinson has therefore revealed that the rumors were unfounded. We won't be seeing him in the cast for "The Hunger Games" sequel, this year's sci-fi blockbuster. Handsome Rob had been tipped to take on the role of Finnick Odair in "Catching Fire." So now, who will play the part of the character created by novelist Suzanne Collins? Speculation are now circulating around Armie Hammer ("the Social Network"), Garrett Hedlund ("On the Road") or Taylor Kitsch ("Battleship").
