What The Cast Of Divergent Looks Like Today

Tragedy follows the characters in the "Divergent" series, and there are few with more attached to them than Will. Becoming fast friends with Tris, Will transferred from Erudite, though it didn't take long for him to become a faithful member of Dauntless. Though he had always been protective of Tris, Will's story ends abruptly in the very first film after he succumbs to the simulation serum that he'd been given days prior. Turning him into nothing more than a mindless killer, Tris is forced to kill her friend during her escape, which causes some tension between her and Christina — Will's girlfriend. Though Will appears briefly in "Insurgent," he's nothing more than a memory and a legacy meant to be honored by his surviving friends.

Following "Divergent," Ben Lloyd-Hughes shifted between film and television projects, though favored prestigious TV dramas in later years. The English actor appeared in quite a few mini-series following his time as Will, most notably the historical drama "War & Peace" where he played Tsar Alexander, and the BBC drama "Life in Squares." After appearing in films like "Me Before You," "Malevolent," and "The King's Daughter," Lloyd-Hughes returned to the small screen, landing roles in British productions such as "The Ipcress File," "This England," and "The Crown." Soon after, he was cast as Alexander Colbourne in the ITV adaptation of Jane Austen's infamously unfinished Regency-era novel, "Sanditon," appearing as a main cast member in the second and third seasons of the series.
