Divergent Movies: Every Film, Watch Order and What Is Next

The Divergent series follows Tris Prior through a walled future Chicago in which society is divided into five factions, each built around a single virtue: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless and Erudite. The Divergent movies adapt the novels of Veronica Roth. For a closer look at the groups themselves, the divergent factions page explains what each one values and how the films portray them.

In Divergent (2014), directed by Neil Burger, Beatrice Prior has grown up in selfless Abnegation but does not feel she belongs there. At her aptitude test the administrator, Tori, finds that Beatrice matches several factions rather than one, secretly changes the record and warns her to hide the result. At the choosing ceremony Beatrice leaves her family and picks Dauntless, the brave faction. Theo James plays Four and Jai Courtney plays Eric in the film.

Insurgent (2015), directed by Robert Schwentke, opens days after the Erudite faction's attack on Abnegation. Jeanine Matthews, played by Kate Winslet, declares martial law and hunts the Divergent, so Tris, Four, her brother Caleb and Peter go on the run and shelter with the peaceful Amity faction. Allegiant (2016), also directed by Schwentke, begins with Chicago in turmoil after the old faction system has fallen, with Evelyn in control of the city, its wall closed and Jeanine's supporters on trial. Tris and Four then escape over the wall with Christina, Peter and Tori.

The series arrived on a steady rhythm, with one film in March of each year from 2014 to 2016, and its commercial path is easy to read from the figures. Divergent (2014) earned $289 million worldwide on an $85 million budget, Insurgent earned $297 million on $110 million, and Allegiant earned $179 million on $110 million, according to Box Office Mojo and The Numbers. That drop of roughly $118 million between the second and third films is the clearest backdrop to what happened to the planned finale, and the divergent box office page sets the numbers out film by film.

The music changed hands along the way. Tom Holkenborg composed the score for Divergent (2014), while Joseph Trapanese scored Insurgent and Allegiant, and the films carried songs such as Beating Heart by Ellie Goulding, Holes in the Sky by M83 featuring Haim and Scars by Tove Lo. The divergent soundtrack page lists the notable tracks per film, and the divergent timeline page lays the story out event by event for anyone who wants the sequence of the world rather than the sequence of the releases.
