The first full trailer for the third film in the Divergent series -- a blockbuster YA franchise focused mainly on the waxing and waning of star Shailene Woodley's hair -- starts out predictably enough.

There's a brief primer on what happened during the first two movies; in short, it's a dystopian world where teens are divided into post-apocalyptic Hogwarts houses. Woodley is both a Gryffindor and a Ravenclaw, which is a big no-no, and there's a pulse-pounding soundtrack. Footage from the series' newest installment shows Woodley and co. running from threats and smooching and staring smolderingly.

But then they scale the wall that surrounds the city, and everything changes. Namely: Jeff Daniels shows up. We won't spoil much about his character, in case you haven't read Veronica Roth's novels -- but basically, he is to Allegiant as Julianne Moore is to Mockingjay.
