Fans of the Divergent Series are in a bind. The most recent film in the franchise, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, was just released last month. The next film, The Divergent Series: Allegiant Part 2, won't be in theaters for an entire year. And some fans of Veronica Roth's science fiction young adult series are going a little stir-crazy at the possibility of a year-long wait with no Divergent movies to tide them over (plus, the book series ended quite a while ago, and while Veronica Roth wrote a few spin-off books to expand the story- Four: A Divergent Collection and The World of Divergent: The Path to Allegiant- there aren't any more of those in the immediate future).
As Bustle adds, Divergent fans absolutely love the adventure of Tris and her boyfriend Four as they fight against the oppressive rulers of a futuristic, dystopian Chicago. The series has millions of fans and is pretty well received by all of them, and it might be in Lionsgate's best interest to throw the fans a bone in the upcoming year, so no one loses their minds from Allegiant hype.
The chemistry between stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James is considered to be one of the high points of the franchise, and this is something that will surely carry over into the last two films in the Divergent Series. Their characters may be in love, but James and Woodley are frequently seen in fairly intimate poses together, during red carpet events and at premieres. Some experts claim this might be a clue to their romance, but it's also possible that this kind of posing isn't much more than a publicity stunt. Either way, it's bound to keep fan hype sky-high while everyone awaits the next film in the Divergent Series.
The Divergent Series: Allegiant- Part 1 stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Naomi Watts, Jae Hitch and Jenna Coleman. The film will premiere in theaters on March 18, 2016.
