After the huge success of "Divergent", actor Ansel Elgort talked about what fans could expect from the upcoming sequel "Insurgent," -- particularly from his character Caleb.

During his one-on-one interview with Hollywood Life, the actor discussed the new treatment the production did for the sequel, as well as how it was different from the first film.

"It is like "Divergent" but a little bit darker and less introductory," said Elgort. "It is more about the characters and now Beatrice (Shailene Woodley) is more badass so she is going to kick ass a little bit more and there will be a lot more stunts."

The "The Fault in our Stars" actor said that his character Caleb would change in the "Divergent" sequel as will Caleb's relationship with Beatrice. 

Elgort stated: "Caleb gets a little darker. The relationship between Caleb and Beatrice, you know, they butt heads a little bit. It is an interesting movie."

Elgort told fans that he will have more screen time in the new film.

"I shoot three times as many days in this movie (as I did in Divergent), so I will be around a lot more," Elgort said.

Fans of the Veronica Roth trilogy are aware that with Caleb around more often to butt heads with Beatrice, the relationship between her and love-interest Four (Theo James) will lead to a lot of conflict between the three of them and the group from the Dauntless faction.

In other news, the cast of "Insurgent" will be joined by British-Australian actress Naomi Watts, who will play the role of Evelyn in the movie. Evelyn is the head of the factionless zone and the mother of Four in the series.

Insurgent is scheduled to release March 20, 2015.
