Final Trailer For 'Allegiant' Takes Shailene Woodley Beyond The Wall


With Robert Schwentke bowing out from directing The Divergent Series: Ascendant, the final chapter of the YA franchise is surprisingly in flux.  No matter who comes aboard they'll at least have a star the caliber of Shailene Woodley to work with, and the actress is again front and center in the new trailer for the next film, Allegiant, which still boasts Schwentke's handywork.

Woodley stars alongside Theo James, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Zoe Kravitz, Octavia Spencer, Naomi Watts, and more in the third film based on Veronica Roth's popular book series. Like pretty much every YA franchise this one has been split into two parts, with Ascendant the concluding chapter. Here's the official synopsis, which finds Tris and Four going beyond the city walls for the first time:

"The third installment of the blockbuster Divergent series franchise, ALLEGIANT takes Tris [Shailene Woodley] and Four [Theo James] into a new world, far more dangerous than ever before. After the earth-shattering revelations of INSURGENT, Tris must escape with Four and go beyond the wall enclosing Chicago. For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known. Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. In order to survive, Tris will be forced to make impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love."

Allegiant opens on March 18th.
