"Divergent" lead actor Theo James (as Tobias "Four" Eaton) has reportedly confirmed he will no longer be included in the last installment of "Divergent" films, "The Divergent Series: Ascendant." Co-lead star Shailene Woodley (as Beatrice) has also expressed non-interest in the upcoming TV movie of the final installment. Check out below revelations from Theo James and Shailene Woodley.
Theo James has been loved by the fans of the hit series "Divergent." It is unfortunate that he is now leaving the series. Reports now reveal the reason behind his exit in the movie.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Theo James expressed his regrets to be not included in the last installment of the series. The actor detailed that the studio is taking the movie into a different area. The upcoming "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" will evolve into another level where his character is no longer required.
Reports now speculate the looming of the fate of the TV movie when Theo James has confirmed his departure. It is a well-known fact that Theo James has contributed much to the success of "Divergent" series. Furthermore, the previous installment "The Divergent Series: Allegiant" did not fare well in the box office when it was released in March this year. Considering Theo James' exit and the poor box office performance of the third installment, the upcoming final installment seems to be groping in the dark now.

Meanwhile, Theo James is currently busy with his upcoming film "Underworld: Blood Wars." The actor shared to the magazine that it did not bother him to be part of the action horror movie, after leaving the "Divergent" series. Theo James sees it as an expansion of his acting journey, as he said it is not healthy to just do the same craft.
In another report, co-lead star Shailene Woodley has also stated that she has not signed up a contract to be included in a television show. Her statement suggests that she will not also take part in the final installment of the TV movie "The Divergent Series: Ascendant." MTV noted that Theo James apparently felt the same.
If lead star Shailene Woodley does not seem to be interested in doing the TV movie and Theo James has confirmed his exit in the series, will the final installment still push through? The report also noted that rumors are now circulating regarding the possible cancellation of the final installment.
