In another Variety report, Olivia Spencer who is more recognised for her role in the movie "The Help," has been earlier reported to be also joining Woodley and James, both reprising their "Divergent" roles as Tris and Four.
According to the report, Spencer is set to play Johanna, the leader of the Amity faction, one of the five factions said to be dedicated to peace and trust.
