The Divergent Series: Ascendant now has a new director in Lee Toland Krieger (Age Of Adaline) following the departure of the previous director.
The change at the top is not expected to negatively effect the production schedule, so it should still be with us on June 9, 2017. The Divergent Series: Allegiant will be released on March 18, 2016.
