Who Auditioned to Play Four in 'Divergent'? Theo James Competed Against 8 Actors (A Big 'Hunger Games' Star Turned It Down!)

The Divergent franchise never quite got to the finish line. However, the three movies that we got, based on Veronica Roth‘s novels, are still fan favorites that we remember fondly.

Set in a dystopian world, the series focused on Tris (Shailene Woodley) and her many adventures. It also highlighted her romance with Tobias Eaton (Theo James), more commonly known as Four.

While Shailene was the only actress in the running to play Tris, Theo faced some competition to play the male lead in the series.
