Josh Hutcherson is heading to Hulu for his first main role post "The Hunger Games". The Peeta Mellark depicter is signed on to play the lead character in a comedy pilot titled "Future Man" from the comedic duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. He also serves as a producer, AceShowbiz reveals.

Hutcherson plays Josh Futturman, a janitor at a sexual disease research center by day and world-ranked videogamer by night. He's socially inept, has low self-esteem, and can't approach women, but the one thing he excels at is Cybergeddon, a video game set in a dystopian future where he is known as Future Man.

In the game, he is tasked with preventing the elimination of the human race after mysterious visitors from the future proclaim him the key to defeating an imminent super-race invasion. When he beats the final level, he's visited by characters from the game who claim it's been his training manual and he's been selected to travel back in time and help them save the world.
