In the film, Kate plays Erudite faction leader Jeanine, who is hunting Divergents in the hopes of finding one who can unlock a mysterious box. The rebel group rallies around Tris (Shailene Woodley) when it becomes clear she’s the one Jeanine is after, in order to prevent her capture.

“People have been saying, ‘Gosh, you’re not known for doing these big franchise pieces and playing the baddie,’ and it’s like, ‘Isn’t that great!'” Kate told ET.
