Feltheimer said that what happened to “Divergent: Allegiant” served as a lesson for them to strive harder for future film franchises like the “Power Rangers.”
Some fans have said that they shouldn’t have altered vital elements from the book as well as divide it into two parts.
“Divergent: Allegiant” appeared to have ended Tris and Four’s battle with the faction system but it ended with Jeff Daniels’ David still posing a threat to Tris’ life. Also, “Divergent: Ascendant” is said to carry out the shocking finale to the series — Tris Prior’s death.
Variety also opened up rumors about turning the last film into a limited series composing of 10 to 13 episodes in order to pacify the fans’ clamor for it.
TV Group Chair Kevin Beggs says that the franchise, based on Veronica Roth’s trilogy novel, has a tremendous fan base and it will be a shame if the last installment won’t see the light of day.
Beggs also expressed excitement in doing a novel across a season’s worth of story because it transcends what they call the virtuous cycle of bouncing back from film to television.
Beggs adds that Lionsgate could approach networks to adapt the final installment and turn it into a mini-series. Meanwhile, author Veronica Roth has not yet spoken about the rumored cancellation.
