According to Variety, actress Naomi Watts is in final negotiations to play Evelyn Eaton in INSURGENT and the two ALLEGIANT films. This comes as a bit of a shock given that Evelyn is described as a person of color in the novels, hence the mixed race heritage of her estranged son, Four.
Though not featured in DIVERGENT, Evelyn plays a twisted, complex role in the INSURGENT and ALLEGIANT plot lines as a leader among the oppressed Factionless. It will be interesting to see how her character plays out alongside the established cast, especially Theo James (Four) and Ray Stevenson (Marcus).
