"Allegiant" movie will be the first of the two-part finale in the "Divergent" franchise, which is based on Veronica Roth's book series. The upcoming "Insurgent" sequel will show the return of Shailene Woodley and Theo James as Beatrice 'Tris' Prior and Tobias 'Four' Eaton, respectively, as they try to go beyond the walls of Chicago in search for answers.

The "Divergent: Allegiant" onscreen couple continues to be embroiled in several dating rumors, as James and Woodley's chemistry exudes both in front of and behind the cameras. In an earlier interview with Screen Crave, James revealed his thoughts on doing intimate scenes with Woodley and how it felt like working with the 24-year-old actress.

"With Shai, as much as possible I just wanted to practice the kissing scenes," James joked on his kissing scene with Woodley. "No, but in a real way, we wanted that to be as good as possible. We wanted it to be good and for it to fulfill the things it needed to fulfill, but to be real and not cheesy."

The 31-year-old actor further shared his first impression about his leading lady in the "Divergent" movie franchise. James admitted that while it was awkward filming scenes with a stranger, it felt "very refreshing to meet her."

Meanwhile, Ecumenical News reported that fans continue to hope that Tris' fate will change in the final film titled, "The Divergent Series: Ascendant." As most book fans know, Woodley's character will die in the end of the series, but fans started a petition, which calls for a happier ending for Tris and Four.

"The Divergent Series: Allegiant" premieres on March 18, 2016 in theatres.
