Can we just take a moment to talk about Josh Hutcherson for a second?
I always loved the idea of Josh as Peeta, and I always fought back the haters, and supported him. Seeing him play Peeta in this trailer made me want to break down and cry. He did it. He really did it. HE BROUGHT OUR BELOVED PEETA TO LIFE.
Josh has what? ONE line in the trailer?- YET HE STILL MOVED ME. He didn’t need to speak. He moved me with just a glace. That is skill right there folks.
For example, the moment he and Katniss are on stage together at the reaping- THE LOOK HE GIVES.

It broke my heart. He is thinking, “Woah. This is the girl I love, the girls life i saved, we are going in the games- and we won’t be able to get out together.”
Then when Josh says his line (which btw is from one of my all-time favorite scenes from the entire trilogy)..

He nailed it. He just nailed the line.
So I just wanted to thank Josh Hutcherson. because honestly- where would this movie be without him? We have the perfect Peeta guys.
We are so lucky to have Josh.
