Last week I received a tip from an anonymous source who claimed Octavia Spencer was going to be in Atlanta this summer for Insurgent, and the one time I don’t take a tip seriously…
Deadline announced this afternoon that Octavia is indeed joining the cast of the Divergent sequel. She will play Johanna, the leader of the Amity faction who is known for her distinctive scar.
This also supports the information from my tipster who added they were doing makeup tests for Octavia last week which included “perfecting a scar.”
Filming of Insurgent in Atlanta is expected to get underway this week.
