Alex Pettyfer Has Not Been Cast as Four / Tobias in ‘Divergent, Reports are Rumors Only

Picture 157

It is currently rumored that Alex Pettyfer has joined the cast of ‘Divergent,’ as Dauntless leader ‘Four,’ according to Sugar Scape. Multiple sources are picking up the news, however there is no official press release confirmation yet. We’ll keep you all posted, there is a possibility this could be a false alarm, or someone making up a shocking headline to receive traffic. I originally rushed to get this up since I thought it was confirmed judging from the reactions on my Twitter news feed, and I didn’t want to delay posting. My mistake, apologies!

As I’m sure many will say, we can’t deny his ability to visually play the character (he’s good looking, nobody can deny that), but after seeing him in I Am Number Four and Beastly I’m still not convinced about his acting ability. Alex Pettyfer would join Shailene Woodley as Tris in the possible first installment of a franchise based on Veronica Roth’s novels, directed by Neil Burger of Limitless.

    As upset as I am (“WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?”), there’s a part of me that trusts the casting department to do a good job. Maybe this will be the role that makes Alex a better actor? Hopefully, my trust isn’t betrayed.

    Sorry but no- he isn’t physically able for the role. Four is biracial. Alex is white and also looks like he is 30

    Variety reported just a few days ago that Summit had tested Pettyfer, Jeremy Irvine, and Lucas Til and passed on all three of them. Why would anyone think that Sugarscape is a reliable source of Hollywood casting news?

    Why would he want to do Divergent when he refused to be Jace in TMI? (which would have been freakin perfect) I could see him and Shailene having some chemistry though!

    I REALLY REALLY hope is not him -___- as you say he doesn’t have the acting and he is a douche!

    Alex has a certain arrogance in his appearance, I don’t think he is best suited for Four. I still think he’s better off as Peter. Four is supposed to have a bit of a shyness quality to him and I’m afraid Alex just don’t have that…

    YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!
    HE DOESN’T ACT….HE IS A BAD ACTOR!
    I PREFER SOMEONE NOT PHISICALY ALIKE FOUR AND A GOOD ACTOR, THAN….HIM! GIAAAAK!

    I heard he’s pretty good in “magic mike.” This isn’t his role. His perfect role would have been Jace in the mortal instuments.

    @Chris Sad they passed on Jeremy. He looked like he could actually do Four. Too bad.
