Shailene Woodley Will Star in Divergent, But Who Is Her Leading Man? (PHOTOS)
Shailene Woodley is about to have her moment. Even though she recently wrapped the final season of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, she has two major projects on the horizon: playing the iconic Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and starring as Tris in the hit young adult novel adaptation of Divergent.
But now that she’s been pegged as the next Jennifer Lawrence, she needs her Peeta.
According to Deadline, Shai was paired with four young actors for chemistry reads earlier this week: Luke Bracey, Brenton Thwaites, Lucas Till (aka Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video star), and Jack Reynor.
Although none of the names in the pot are big-name actors, neither was Josh Hutcherson until a few years ago! And considering that the adaptation comes from Snow White and the Huntsman’s Evan Daugherty and is frequently compared to The Hunger Games for its futuristic setting and similar characters, it already had the industry abuzz.
Check out photos of the four actors below, and then you tell us: Which guy is perfect for Shai? He may not hold a candle to Ricky Underwood (aka Daren Kagasoff), but Amy and Ricky will live on in our hearts forever.
