Up until now, "The Divergent: Series Allegiant" is up in the air for renewal. The main reason for the cancellation was pointed to the not-so-stellar box office performance but latest rumors say that a feud between the two lead actors is the main cause.
'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' Cancellation
"The Divergent Series: Allegiant" cancellation rumors sprung not long after the "Allegiant" was shown earlier this year. It was previously reported that Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Miles Teller are not interested in appearing on the fourth installment. This news comes after speculations of turning the last title of the franchise into a TV movie.
"The Divergent Series: Allegiant" star Shailene Woodley said they hadn't signed up to appear on TV. Her co-star Theo James, on the other hand, uses this time off to organize his upcoming wedding with Ruth Kearney. Meanwhile, Miles Teller has expressed his interest in getting on more mature roles.
However, new speculations arise regarding the true reason for canceling "The Divergent Series: Allegiant." According to recent reports, Woodley and James' misunderstanding is so severe that the last title had to be canceled.
Shailene Woodley & Theo James Feud
"The Divergent Series: Allegiant" stars are currently in heated status after Theo James turned down the offer to reprise his role for the last installment. This decision made Woodley furious, starting the bad blood between them.
In a previous report by GameNGuide, Shailene Woodley was identified as the cause of Theo James' delayed wedding. James then decided not to return for the final installment to finally arrange his dream wedding with Ruth Kearney. Woodley doesn't think it's worth turning down "The Divergent Series: Allegiant."
In turn, Shailene Woodley decided to quit "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" as well. It remains to be seen if Lionsgate decides to renew the last title or it will turn the movie into a TV series instead. Stay tuned for more updates on "The Divergent Series: Ascendant!"
