Evan Peters and Josh Hutcherson. Roberts wasn't the only American Horror Story alum who auditioned for The Hunger Games. Evan Peters was reportedly up for the role of Peeta, which went to Hutcherson.
Ever since he was five years old, Peeta had a huge crush on Katniss Everdeen. On the first day of school, Peeta's father pointed her out, saying that he wanted to marry her mother but ultimately didn't as she married a coal miner.
The other names that auditioned for Gale included David Henrie, Robbie Amell, and Drew Roy. Those who got through the initial stages were then sent to screen test with the female lead.
They believed that because she was older she would bring the maturity to the character that was required. Even though Katniss was only sixteen, she acted as a type of mother figure after her father died in a mining accident.

8. Synthetic hair had to be used on set of The Hunger Games while filming in North Carolina because of the intense humidity there. To ensure that the styles wouldn't flop during filming due to the long hours and heat, Flowers used all-synthetic wigs, which typically kept the style longer.
Among them were Taylor Kitsch, Armie Hammer, and Garrett Hedlund; it's unclear how far Gustin got in the audition process, but it didn't matter since, around that time, he joined Glee and then later, The Flash. All three of the actors were on the rise with hefty experience in TV and film.
The fan-favorite relationship between Haymitch and Banks' character, Effie Trinket, took a big step forward at the end of Mockingjay - Part 2 when the former victor planted a serious smooch on the normally prim and polished Capitol chaperone, a move Harrelson admits was improvised by him while shooting the scene.
Gale constantly does not understand katniss' trauma, and puts his feelings above hers every time. She is left traumatized from being in the hunger games and killing other kids, and all he cares about is her relationship with peeta, which was an act of self perseverance on her part.
Their relationship was all friends. They trusted each other, but that doesn't mean they had romantic feelings for each other. Plus, Cinna's too old for Katniss.
Most importantly, Peeta was the one who stood by Katniss' side since the Reaping, and there was no doubt he wanted to deepen their relationship from the beginning.
Peeta is the same age as Katniss, making him 16 years old in The Hunger Games and 17-18 in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Peeta is of "medium height, stocky build" and has "ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forehead." He has blue eyes.
In 2011, 18-year-old Hutcherson landed the leading role of Peeta Mellark in the top-grossing film series The Hunger Games, released yearly between 2012 and 2015, for which he won three MTV Movie Awards and a People's Choice Award.
Peeta Mellark, the male counterpart of Katniss, is a physically strong, emotionally expressive male who is a baker and cake decorator (Collins, 2008). Katniss and Peeta reject gender binaries. They cross over gender identities.
Kisses are no exception, and a number of major onscreen moments weren't in the movies' original scripts. For example, Emily Blunt decided to kiss her "Edge of Tomorrow" costar, Tom Cruise, in one scene, while Mark Hamill improvised kissing Carrie Fisher's forehead in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
Haymitch Abernathy was born 40 years prior to the 74th Hunger Games, during the same year the 34th Hunger Games were held. There is no information regarding his childhood and early teenage years, although it is known that he is from the Seam of District 12, and had a younger brother, a mother, and a girlfriend.
For example, I remember when we did the first scene, it was just, I looked at Cate and I thought, oh my God, this is so easy in a way floating and think, I think there was no kiss at the end of the scene written down, but it just happened, because it's two people who are really in love.
As a Career tribute, Finnick won the 65th Hunger Games at the age of 14, where he was mentored by the previous District 4 victor, Mags. During the 74th Hunger Games, he served as mentor alongside Mags for District 4, as revealed in Mockingjay when he became the expert on Peeta's memories of his two times in the arena.
At first, Finnick appears to be another shallow puppet of the Capitol's. She says that she's never been attracted to him and that is possibly because she has found him too easy to lose. This recalls the theme of trust in that Katniss doesn't want to believe Finnick is someone to rely on.
Along with Lawrence, Hutcherson and Hemsworth, the franchise starred Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. The costars quickly formed close bonds, especially the main trio.
Katniss is rendered deaf in one ear after she blows up the Careers' supplies, and she doesn't regain any hearing on her left side until afterwards when the Capitol gives her a hearing aid.
In the case of Johanna, they each hated each other because that was what the Capitol had taught them to do. They were from competing Districts, and the idea of the Games was to keep the lesser citizens of Panem distrustful of one another and unwilling to form alliances (or raise arms in war).
Katniss has a conflicted relationship with her mother. Following her father's death, her mother fell into deep depression and now rarely speaks. As a result, Katniss has a difficult time feeling love and affection for her mother, even as she recognizes that her mother is a kind and intelligent woman.
