“Divergent” fans will be getting a lot more from the sequel “Insurgent.”

Access Hollywood spoke to Shailene Woodley on Friday at the junket for her upcoming movie, where she teased what fans can expect from the second film.
“A much bigger movie, there’s so much more action,” the 23-year-old told Liz Hernandez.

And it’s not just the action that has been amped up.
“The colors are bigger and more vivid,” she continued. “The music, the score is so much larger. In every way an aspect, I think it’s been taken up a notch. It’s really exciting, I’m really excited for people to see it.”
The actress, who plays Tris in the trilogy based on the Veronica Roth book series, told Access she loved doing the stunts – at least the ones she was allowed to perform.

“I was involved as I could be,” she said of her stunt work. “[I was told a few times], ‘You’re not allowed to do that,’ which is annoying. Stunts are fun, but insurance won’t allow it to go too far.”
In “Insurgent,” the actress – who cut her hair for “The Fault in Our Stars” – is sporting a short ‘do, something the actress was pleased with.
“Wigs always sort of look [bad]. I think especially in an action movie when you’re running around and flipping upside down. I knew it would be a pain,” she told Access. “At the end of the day, you really don’t want someone there with glue, gluing your head… luckily everybody thought going short was great idea.”
