Beatrice (Tris) Prior
I know the role of Tris has already been cast but honestly I would love Kaya Scodelario so much more in the role. She has the acting ability, charisma, and attitude. She'd be so great.

Tobias (Four) Eaton
He has a masculinity about him that I find is essential. He has a very tough exterior but I also think that he would be able to show vulnerability during the few times that Four does. And when I look at him he makes me feel a bit giddy.

Tobais (Four) Eaton
I am actually digging the rumors going around about him being cast as Four. He's a great actor and I love him in Falling Skies. He seems to have this whole dystopian badass thing down.

Christina
She has been officially cast as Christina and I have to say I am so happy with this casting! Although I don't think that Zoe is the best actress, she's at least decent and looks almost perfectly to how I imagined her.

Natalie Prior (Tris' Mother)
