Los Angeles, Mar 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actress Jennifer Lawrence has landed a role in the movie – ‘The Hunger Games’. She is going to portray the character of Katniss Everdeen. The ‘Winter’s Bone’ star has raised a bit of controversy over this new role because some people think that they might be a bit too old to portray the character.

Even though she is just 20 years old yet her looks don’t suit the character who is in her teens. And since there are speculations that there are 2 sequels also in the pipeline so by the time the sequels are wrapped up, she would be in her mid-twenties, which might be a bit too old, for some critics liking.

Collins says that, “Jennifer’s just an incredible actress. So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we’d find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can’t wait for everyone to see her play it.”

According to EW, director Gary Ross said that, “I absolutely cast the right person for the role and in my view there wasn’t even a question who the best Katniss was. It was the easiest casting decision I ever made in my life.”
