After a teaser that very much lived up to its name, it’s time for the first full trailer. Check out the proper promo for The Divergent Series: Allegiant.
This new movie, in case you were unaware, finds Tris, Four (Theo James) and their ragtag group of friends, enemies and undecideds having won their battle against the machinations of Erudite faction leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet). They’ve discovered, thanks to Tris’ ability to unlock a message, that their shattered, dystopian Chicago is not the final refuge for the human race, but was used as an experiment to development divergents such as our heroine. As for what she can do to save the wider world is a mystery, but she’ll learn more from the mysterious Bureau of Genetic Welfare, which includes new franchise face Jeff Daniels as David.
This new trailer employs the unusual tactic of a teaser for itself before the main action kicks in, in which the characters we’ve followed for two films already discover that they’ve been watched by those outside the walls too. “Nothing creepy about that,” as Miles Teller’s Peter cracks. But things get a little more serious when they learn that Chicago is seen as a largely failed plan and that it’s being targeted for destruction...
With Robert Schwentke back directing from a script that has seen work by Noah Oppenheim, Adam Cooper, Bill Collage and Stephen Chbosky, The Divergent Series: Allegiant also features Zoe Kravitz, Naomi Watts, Ansel Elgort, Maggie Q and Bill Skarsgard. It’ll hit our cinemas on March 10.
