What's beyond the wall?

That's exactly what Tris (Shailene Woodley) wants to know in the first official teaser trailer for The Divergent Series: Allegiant. The sneak peek begins by summarizing the events of 2014's Divergent and 2015's The Divergent Series: Insurgent and picks up with Tris, Four (Theo James), Caleb (Ansel Elgort), Christina (Zoë Kravitz), Peter (Miles Teller) and Tori (Maggie Q) finding out what's outside Chicago's walls.

"For the first time ever, they will leave the only city and family they have ever known in order to find a peaceful solution for their embroiled city," Lionsgate said in a press release Tuesday. "Once outside, old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless with the revelation of shocking new truths. Tris and Four must quickly decide who they can trust as a ruthless battle ignites beyond the walls of Chicago which threatens all of humanity. In order to survive, Tris will be forced to make impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love."

The Divergent Series: Insurgent's Robert Schwentke directed The Divergent Series: Allegiant, based on the novel Allegiant by Veronica Roth. Lucy Fisher, Pouya Shahbazian and Douglas Wick produced the third movie in the film franchise.

"The first movie was about Tris sort of following Four," Woodley told MTV, which gave fans a behind the scenes look at the film Tuesday. "Insurgent sort of seemed like Four was sort of following Tris to stop her from following her impulsive nature. And in this movie, we thought it would be lovely to create a balance of the two."

Jeff Daniels plays David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare's experiment. "He's actually a good guy. Maybe he ends up doing some things that fall on the bad guy end, but he wants to help people," he explained. "He wants to save humanity."

The Divergent Series: Allegiant will be released on March 18, 2016.

The Divergent Series: Ascendant hits theaters March 24, 2017.

Since 2014, the first two films have earned a combined $583 million worldwide.
