In June 2005, he was cast in his most prominent role so far, that of teenage MI6 spy Alex Rider in the film [7] StormbreakerPettyfer, based on the novel by Anthony Horowitz. He was one of 500 who auditioned for the role. chose to appear in the film over a role in the filmEragon, noting that he preferredStormbreakerbecause it would be filmed in Britain, in the Isle of Man, whileEragonwould film in the Czech Republic; Pettyfer is afraid of flying, and [5] he liked the looks of the cast forStormbreaker.Stormbreakerwas released on 21 July 2006 in the United Kingdom, on 6 October 2006 in the United States and on 21 September 2006 in Australia. [9] One review of Pettyfer's performance described him as playing the role with an "earnest intensity", although [10] another noted that he "isn't quite at ease as an actor". Media reports specified that the film was expected to make [8] Pettyfer a "teen idol". Pettyfer will not reprise the role if there is another Alex Rider film because he is now too [11] mature for the role. He next appeared inWild Child, a film set in California, Kent and Yorkshire part of which took place at Cobham Hall Girl's School in Kent. He played school boy Freddie Kingsley and he co-starred with Emma Roberts. In 2009, he played the callous ringleader of a group of cool but cruel teenagers who are picked off one by one by the ghost of one of their former victims, in the horror-comedy,Tormented. He starred in the filmBeastly, based on the novel by Alex Flinn, alongside Mary-Kate Olsen, Vanessa Hudgens, and [12] [13] Neil Patrick Harris. He finished filming on 13 August 2009, and the film was released on 4 March 2011. Pettyfer portrayed the main character inI Am Number Four, released in February, 2011. The film co-starred Timothy [14] Olyphant, Dianna Agron, and Teresa Palmer, and was directed by D. J. Caruso, produced by Michael Bay, and [15] executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

He was offered the part of Jace Wayland in the upcoming portrayal of Cassandra Clare's best selling book,City of [17] [18] Bones. Jamie Campbell Bower was later cast as Jace Wayland. Pettyfer had also been offered a part in an [19] upcoming film adaption of Joseph Delaney'sThe Wardstone Chronicles, and has declined the role. He was in line to star inThe Paperboy, based on the Pete Dexter novel of the same name, but turned down the role (later filled by [20] Zac Efron).

After Pettyfer completed filmingStormbreaker, he did not discuss the film with anyone at his school, citing the advice of hisStormbreakerco-star, Ewan McGregor, who told him to keep his personal and professional life [23] separate. Pettyfer has since decided to leave school and concentrate on his film career, whilst studying drama at [8] college, saying that "When you have already experienced going out and working in the real world, and you come [24] back to school, you just see it as a playground and you don't want to be there any more".

When Contactmusic asked him about the "ER" tattoo he said "I don't know how to say it, she's a lovely, lovely girl, we had
