Shailene Woodley and Theo James are well on their way to reprise their roles as Tris and Four and chemistry onscreen in the upcoming movie "Insurgent," the next installment to the "Divergent" film series. On the other hand, it has been made known that the two will be also sharing screen time with Ansel Elgort (Caleb), as confirmed by the actor. Christian Today quoted Elgort, who explained that his character will be darker in the upcoming film and a lot involves him and Tris butting heads.

If Elgort's interview would be enough for fans of the Tris-Four loveteam to breathe a sigh of relief, a latest report somewhat confirmed talks over the future of the onscreen pair. Fashion & Style cited a trasncript of the recent earnings call of Lionsgate published on Seeking Alpha wherein Lionsgate CEO John Feltheimer said that the company is eyeing to produce a film that would have James playing solo as Four according to author Veronica Roth's "Four: A Divergent Collection."

The question raised by a JP Morgan Chase & Co analyst was, as written, "And then just a follow-up question. I think you mentioned a book Four, coming out or came out on the Divergent series. Is there opportunities, I guess, around for these franchises, with Four being an example, to do other films that haven't been announced yet?"

Feltheimer responded, "I think as I've said before, we certainly hope so.'

It is unclear though whether Woodley's character would be joining James' in the potential spinoff, but the actress appeared to have a very different perspective in mind when it comes to her acting future. A trailer for her new film "White Bird in a Blizzard" is observed to be a far cry from her roles as Tris and Hazel Grace Lancaster in "The Fault in Our Stars," US Weekly said. Classicalite noted that the actress plays a teenager that would have her in a lot of nude and sex scenes.

The video had Woodley narrating at the beginning as clips of her having passionate sex with her boyfriend, as quoted, "I was 17 when my body changed seemingly overnight. Flesh and blood and raging hormones... but then, one night that summer, everything changed."
