"The interesting thing about Tris is — I don't think she's a badass," Woodley explained. "She's not a superhero. She's not an action star, and I think that there is something really refreshing about bringing a very normal adolescent to life in a way where she has to rise to the occasion and find her brave heart and be really courageous in situations where she doesn't necessarily want to be."

Without the safety net of her family and childhood friends, Tris is forced to find a new support system within her faction, which comes to include love interest Four (Theo James) and pal Christina (Zoe Kravitz).

"I think when you find Four, he's extremely closed and kind of damaged and learned to exist in this world in the best way that he can," James said of his character. "He's chosen not to be a leader. He's been asked several times. He chooses to take a step back, and as things change and people start to die and things go wrong, he realizes that something needs to be done and something needs to change."

As Tris' mentor, Four helps the teen uncover secrets about herself that will not only shape her destiny but put her in danger. And according to author Roth, a natural rapport between the two actors was vital for the big-screen adaptation to succeed.

"The chemistry between them is also really strong. It's kind of important," she said.

"I really love Theo," Woodley confirmed. "He has a lot to offer as far as a person. He's just a good human being. He's very pure."

Clearly, the feeling is mutual.

"The chemistry is pivotal but also needs to be natural and real, and I think that's something we stumbled upon quite easily," James said. "It was just there."

Kravitz concurred: "They have amazing chemistry on and off camera. They're great friends. They can turn it on like that. It's magic."

Watch our behind-the-scenes sneak peek of "Divergent" for even more scoop from the set, including how closely the adaptation hews to the novel.

"Divergent," also starring Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Tony Goldwyn and Maggie Q, hits theaters March 21, 2014.

First Look of Kate Winslet as Jeanine Matthews in Divergent

Are you excited to see how Kate Winslet transformed into villain-es Jeanine Matthews in Divergent? Well, here you go. Thanks USA Today for the pic and interview.

CHICAGO — As Kate Winslet descends the stairs in the Hall of Choosing during a scene from the action-adventure tale Divergent, she carries a slim briefcase in front of her, which has multiple uses.



Given that she’s wearing a sharp, lab-coat-inspired executive suit, the accessory further projects the image of a true leader as Winslet’s character serenely inspects the assembled masses.



As soon as director Neil Burger yells “cut!,” Winslet employs the container for another use — as a fan on the stifling set of Seventeenth Church of Christ, Scientist, which has broken air conditioners. As she flaps, she reveals that the case also disguises a baby bump — she announced in early June that she’s having her third child, the first with husband Ned Rocknroll.



“I’m holding up fine. I’m pregnant, but it’s not at the point where it becomes impossible,” says Winslet, 37, relaxing at a conference table with bags of nearly melted ice on her feet. “Sometimes you just have to roll with it.”



That’s just what Winslet does in the pivotal role of Jeanine Matthews in the film adaptation (out March 21) of the first novel in Veronica Roth’s best-selling Divergent trilogy.



Jeanine is the protector of a futuristic dystopian society based in Chicago, in which the population is divided into five factions. As the leader of the Erudite, or intelligent group, Jeanine is also the story’s antagonist.



Winslet’s character adopts a positively chilly demeanor when she meets hero Tris Prior (The Descendants‘ Shailene Woodley) and her family in a scene depicting the day Tris will choose her faction.



“That’s the whole point of Jeanine,” Winslet says. “She walks down the corridor and sort of just leaves this vapor trail. I knew I had to bring that intimidation.”



The role gives the Oscar winner (best actress for 2008′s The Reader) the opportunity to play her first screen villain.



“I’m no idiot. The idea went through my head that I have never played a baddie before,” she says. “I was almost kind of surprised.”



The pregnancy helped maintain the intimidation factor, since Winslet came into the shoot late. She used that distance from her co-stars to her advantage by keeping herself slightly aloof initially.



“I wanted to break it and say, ‘It’s OK, I’m really fun. I promise.’ ” she says. “But I thought, just for today, I’d let them think that I am a complete bitch.”



Burger says Winslet is game for every aspect of the shoot, even volunteering to perform a small fall in her character’s fight scene. (He used a stunt double.) Wardrobe changes were needed to accommodate the pregnancy, and Winslet’s time on set is closely managed.



“Obviously, we have to be careful, and the way we shoot her changes things,” Burger says. “But there’s a way to do it so we stay off the fact she is pregnant.”



Even the die-hard fans of the series, who have nitpicked about things such as Woodley’s hair color, have been “exploding with joy” with the news of Winslet’s casting, Roth says. Watching from the monitor, Roth feels Winslet even exceeds the hype.



“Kate has gone with a very subtle, even well-meaning villain. She’s not a mustache-twirling Disney type,” she says. “She brings the menace in a very quiet way.”

"I have never done an action-type film," says Woodley, known for starring in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager and playing George Clooney's daughter in the Oscar-nominated movie The Descendants. "So it's really exciting to jump into this."

"I'm such a physical, active person," Woodley told PEOPLE during a visit to the set. "So to be able to incorporate that with legit fight training and climbing up and down Ferris wheels, I'm so lucky."
