"The Divergent Series: Ascendant" made headlines after rumors suggested the fourth title won't make it on the big screen. However, the latest round of rumors is giving hopes to some fans. In fact, a script is reportedly in the works, hinting unexpected twists in Shailene Woodley and Theo James characters.
'The Divergent Series: Ascendant' Not Canceled?
GameNGuide previously reported that "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James were left out in the dark regarding plans for the final installment. With no confirmation from Lionsgate, the cast themselves along with their fans are on the edge of their seats waiting for answers.
However, latest speculations suggest that the script is currently in the works with unexpected twists on Shailene Woodley and Theo James' story arcs. The alleged script of "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" will reportedly accommodate the story in a TV movie format.
Making "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" into a TV movie will extend the story of Tris and Four's adventure. The creative team can develop new plots and story arcs for the characters. However, if Lionsgate will develop the script into a movie, then fans will see the last of Tris and Four.

Veronica Roth On Board To Rewrite Script?
If "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" will be developed into a TV series, there are speculations that author Veronica Roth may contribute to restructuring the script. A previous report notes that there's a possibility that Roth may revise the script and fans should look forward to more adventures of the post-apocalyptic story.
However, there's the big question if Shailene Woodley and Theo James will still reprise their role if the story will be adapted into a TV movie. Shailene Woodley expressed her hesitance to reprise her role as Tris in "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" if it will be developed into a TV movie.
While she didn't explicitly say this, she hinted as much by saying that she didn't sign up to appear on TV. It remains to be seen what will come of "The Divergent Series: Ascendant." It was initially set to hit the theaters on June 9, 2017.
