The release of "Ascendant," the fourth installment in the "Divergent" series, is rumored to have been cancelled for the big screen.
"Insurgent" cast member Miles Teller recently told E! News that he doesn't have any idea what will happen to the film. After all, he and his co-stars haven't filmed for more than a year now. "I have not talked to anyone. We haven't filmed in like a year and a half. My phone's not ringing for it," he said.
Meanwhile, Teller also spoke with The Hollywood Reporter to share his thoughts on the reports that "Ascendant" will only be released on television. "It caught us all by surprise," he said. The actor added that he still hopes the fourth installment will be picked up for the big screen because he and his co-stars already signed on for it.
"Things do chance anytime their messing with something that was not the original intention. We all signed on for it in hopes that it'd be released in theaters, and we all had every intention of finishing the franchise," he said.
Despite the low ratings and revenue, Teller still spoke very highly of the entire franchise. In fact, he said, "I'm not kidding when I say that you won't find a single actor who worked in that franchise who would have anything bad to say about that experience. It's all good. I've got nothing but love for everybody I've worked with on that franchise," he said.
In other news, "Divergent" lead star Shailene Woodley debunked rumors that she will be playing the role of Tris in the TV adaptation. While talking to Screen Rant, the actress said, "I didn't sign up to be in a television show. Out of respect to the studio and everyone involved, they may have changed their mind and may be doing something different, but I'm not necessarily interested in doing a television show," she said.
