Normally found amping up the creepiness as Roman Godfrey on Netflix’s horror series Hemlock Grove, Bill Skarsgard is headed back to the big screen. He’s making a deal to play an unspecified role in the third Divergent film, Allegiant.
We’ll offer the requisite Spoiler Warning here for anyone who hasn’t read the books and isn’t already au fait with the plot. Allegiant finds Tris (Shailene Woodley) getting to the heart of the mystery surrounding the future society she’s been standing up against and the factions at its core. Jeff Daniels signed recently to play David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, which originally created the various factions.
As Tris starts to learn – more towards the end of the book – David and his team’s (which apparently includes Skarsgard’s character, possibly Matthew from the book) actions might not exactly have everyone’s best interests at heart.
With Noah Oppenheim writing the screenplay, Robert Schwentke will start the cameras rolling this month. Unusually, it appears he won’t be making both of the final entries at once, and Lionsgate may go with someone else to direct the second half. The film should be with us on March 18 next year.
Skarsgard has worked on Emperor and is Alison Eastwood’s latest, Battlecreek.
