OCTAVIA SPENCER CAST IN INSURGENT

The Wrap reported yesterday that Octavia Spencer has been casted as Johanna, the leader of the Amity faction. With only a few more weeks to go until filming begins for Insurgent we can expect to see more cast announcements.

“Insurgent” raises the stakes for Tris (Woodley) as she searches for allies and answers in the dystopian ruins of a futuristic Chicago. Tris and Four (James) are now fugitives on the run, hunted by Jeanine (Winslet), the leader of the power-hungry Erudite elite. Racing against time, they must find out what Tris's family sacrificed their lives to protect, and why the Erudite leaders will do anything to stop them. Haunted by her past choices but desperate to protect the ones she loves, Tris, with Four at her side, faces one impossible challenge after another as they unlock the truth about the past and ultimately the future of their world.
