Is There a Divergent Movie
The Divergent film series, based on Veronica Roth's novels, includes four released movies: Divergent (2014), Insurgent (2015), Allegiant (2016), and Ascendant (announced but not released). The series was produced by Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate. As of the latest public information, no new Divergent movie has been officially greenlit for production by Lionsgate or any other studio.
The first film, Divergent, starred Shailene Woodley as Tris Prior and Theo James as Four, with a budget of around $85 million and a worldwide box office gross of approximately $288 million, according to public studio estimates and box office tracking sources. The sequels followed a similar cast and creative team, with each installment adapting the next book in the trilogy and the planned fourth film.
Divergent Movie Box Office and Reception
Divergent opened to $54.6 million in its North American debut in March 2014, finishing first at the box office that weekend. Insurgent earned roughly $52.2 million in its opening weekend in March 2015, while Allegiant debuted with around $29 million in North America in March 2016, reflecting a declining trend in audience turnout across the series.
Critics and audiences rated the films mixed to negative on major review aggregation platforms, with praise for the performances of Woodley and James but criticism for pacing and plot changes from the source material. The series' underperformance relative to expectations contributed to the pause on further installments, leaving the story of the Divergent universe unresolved on screen.
Future of the Divergent Franchise
Lionsgate has not announced a new Divergent movie, reboot, or continuation as of the latest available public updates. The studio's focus remains on other film and television properties, and no official release date, director, or writer has been attached to a new Divergent project. Fans seeking updates should monitor Lionsgate's official channels and trusted entertainment news outlets for any future announcements.
