'Divergent' Movie Spoilers: Miles Teller Auditioned for Four; Actor Reveals His Character Peter Changes in Third Book

Miles Teller has revealed that he auditioned for the role of Four in the upcoming film "Divergent."

During an interview with the blog Just Jared the actor revealed that he had tried out for the male lead in the new adaptation of the young adult book. He said, "I originally auditioned for Four and that didn't work out."

However, he said that he did not have to audition for the role of Peter, which he eventually got. He said, "I didn't have to audition. The director saw Shailene [Woodley] and I in 'Spectacular Now,' and said, 'Hey, would you be interested in this?'"

He continued, "And they're like, 'We think you would make a good villain. Would you want to play the role of Peter?' And I said 'Yeah, sure.' I didn't know much about him. I read the script, obviously. Once I was cast and people were talking about it online, I read the book after. I didn't know that Peter was so hated."

Teller added that his character eventually becomes good in the third book of the series. He said, "He saves her life. I think in the third book, I think he's going to come around even more."

"Divergent" takes place in a future world where people are divided into factions based on personality. When teenager Tris is warned she is divergent and will never fit into any one group, she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all divergents.

Summit is slated to release movie on March 21, 2014. The film also stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Maggie Q, Ashley Judd, Tony Goldwyn and Ray Stevenson.
