Recent reports about the upcoming "Divergent" movie suggests that the script for the fourth edition of "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" is already in the works, with some unexpected twists for Theo James and Shailene Woodley's characters being written in as well.
After the third "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" movie performed badly in the Box Office, rumors were doing the rounds that a fourth movie would not be made by Lionsgate. This left the fans of the series disappointed, but now, with the latest rumors suggesting a fourth edition, it is surely time to rejoice.
Moreover, the third movie in the series used up a good portion of the book, that the series is based on. This implies that the upcoming "Divergent" movie will deviate considerably from the book to include new twists and turns in the characters' storylines.
However, current speculations also states that the fourth title of "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" will not be a theatrical release, but rather a TV movie, reports GameNGuide.
It is worth mentioning here that the possibility of an extension of these character arcs, as well as the alleged deviant plot twists in the latest script, has given rise to the rumor that there may well be a "Divergent" TV series in the future. Reports also suggest that author Veronica Roth will be on board to write the script for this show.
While the fourth title will have Woodley and James reprising their roles, but no announcement has been made to confirm their role as Tris Prior and Tobias Eaton in the TV series. Reportedly, Woodley has indicated her hesitation to reprise her role if "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" is developed into a TV movie.
Notably, "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" movie was set for a June 2017 release. But, now it remains to be seen when the movie is released and whether it hits the big screen or the TV screen.
