The 33-year old actor previously starred as Peeta Mellark in the hit franchise.
During a recent chat with Variety, Josh claimed that he would “love” to be back on set again with the original cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, and Liam Hemsworth, plus director Francis Lawrence.
He shared, “It would not take any convincing at all. I’d be there in a heartbeat. That would be a dream come true,” adding, “Do dreams come true? Sometimes. Sometimes not. Sometimes, yeah.”
On November 20, the spine-chilling two-minute teaser of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping was released.
