The Divergent Series: Allegiant isn't in theaters until this spring, but we're already getting the second full-length trailer as early as tomorrow. A new trailer teaser has arrived, which shows series stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James in a loving embrace. We also get to see Miles Teller springing into action. And Tris pilots an aircraft into oblivion. Will she escape unscathed? We'll find out more on Friday.
The Divergent Series: Allegiant is the penultimate chapter in the thrilling Divergent series. This third part of the saga hits theaters this March. It will then be followed by the final installment, The Divergent Series: Ascendant in 2017. The final two movies are based on the third and final novel in Veronica Roth's iconic YA sci-fi series. And we get to see some of those pages come to life in this blink-and-you'll-miss-it sneak peak.
The third installment in the blockbuster action adventure franchise stars Golden Globe nominee Shailene Woodley as Tris. And the film reunites her with Theo James as Four. Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer and the Oscar-nominated Naomi Watts join Golden Globe-nominated actor Jeff Daniels for the third and fourth films in the franchise. The list of returning cast members includes Ray Stevenson, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q, Keiynan Lonsdale and Jonny Weston, as well as Mekhi Phifer and Daniel Dae Kim. New cast members include Nadia Hilker and Bill Skarsgård as well.
After the Earth-shattering revelations of The Divergent Series: Insurgent, Tris must escape with Four beyond the Wall that encircles Chicago to finally discover the shocking truth of what lies behind it. Based on author Veronica Roth's New York Times best-seller, The Divergent Series: Allegiant is being directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Noah Oppenheim and Adam Cooper & Bill Collage and Stephen Chbosky.
