Theo James has opened up about film franchise Divergent and his co-star Shailene Woodley.
Based on the best-selling book, Divergent has been compared to other Young Adult fiction novels such as Twilight and The Hunger Games. James admitted he didn't want to be typecast as a franchise actor.
Speaking to The Metro, he said: "I wasn't looking for a big franchise but it was a lot of fun and can potentially open doors if you're smart with it. After doing a big YA film like this, with the pros and cons that come with it, I wanted to do these other, smaller films.
"I want diversity in what I do as that's what helps you in the long term. It's more fulfilling and you'll have a longer shelf life as an actor."
He also spoke about Shailene Woodley who plays the film's heroine Tris.
"Luckily, she's not a douche bag – she's a nice person and fun and relaxed and not too affected by the wider bulls**t," he said.

"We had good chemistry straight away, which was good as we had to move along quickly, and we're doing a ginormous press schedule that lasts a couple of months so it's a good thing we get on."
