Robert Pattinson for Catching Fire?

Robert Pattinson has been linked to a role in The Hunger Games sequel.

The
star is best known for playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight
movies, and is now rumoured to be joining another popular teen
franchise.

Speculation is rife that the British heartthrob could
sign up to appear in Catching Fire, the follow-up to the hugely
successful movie The Hunger Games.

Lionsgate are reportedly eager
for Robert to play the role of Finnick Odair. The character is
devastatingly handsome and was one of the youngest winners of the Hunger
Games.

In Catching Fire, past Hunger Games champions are called
upon to battle each other to the death in another challenging event -
the Quarter Quell.

If Robert does accept the role, he would be reunited with Francis Lawrence who directed him in Water for Elephants.

Other
famous faces rumoured to be playing Finnick include Grey's Anatomy hunk
Jesse Williams, Zac Efron, Chace Crawford and Robert's Twilight co-star
Kellan Lutz.

Catching Fire - starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh
Hutcherson - is scheduled to begin shooting in the fall and has a
release date of November 2013.
