Shailene Woodley says her character in Divergent is nothing like Katniss Everdeen.

The actress is set to take on the central role of Tris in the Neil Burger directed movie, which is a big screen adaptation of the novel by Veronica Roth.

And while both characters are tough women that show their fighting side Woodley says that are very different.

Speaking to EW the actress said: "What I like about Tris is that she isn't perfect.

"She's not a superhero - she's not Katniss. She doesn't know how to shoot a bow and arrow, she's not a badass by nature."

Filming continues on Divergent - which is set to be one of the biggest roles in Woodley's career so far.

She is joined by an all star cast as Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Jai Courtney and Zoe Kravitz are all on board.

And we are going to be seeing plenty of Woodley on the big screen as she has also completed work on The Spectacular Now and White Bird in a Blizzard.

Divergent is released 21st March 2014.
