'Insurgent' Movie Spoilers: Jai Courtney Confirms Death In Movie, Says He 'Enjoyed Being That Cold & Nasty' [VIDEO]
Say it ain't so! It seems like one actor in the movie is already saying that this character is set to die in the next installment. But could it be Shailene Woodley or Theo James?
Speaking with ComingSoon on Thursday, Jai Courtney, who plays Eric in Divergent and Insurgent, talked about his work on the upcoming movie and confirmed the death of one character in the next movie: his own.
"As in, 'Do I die?' Yes. Yeah there's no spoilers there 'cause it was already written in a different medium, so I'm happy to say that. It's cool, we just wrapped on that the other week. That was actually a lot of fun, it was a lot of fun to go back and play a role a second time. It's the first time I've done that," he said.

"Yeah, it was cool, kind of like the way actors feel when they do TV and come back for another season. You're comfortable, you've explored some ground with that, you've really got the character figured out and I guess things get written with that in mind now."
He also discussed what it was like to already have his character down with one movie and the ability to make him grow and change as he worked on the sequel.
"You can see what worked and you know you're cast. There's just more room to have fun with it, and I think this film takes us out of that particular faction that we started with in the first one," Courtney said.
"It's kind of on the road, like a big long chase sequence, the second book. It was fun to go back and play Eric again."
He also admitted that he enjoyed the villain role and it is something he would like to do again.
"I didn't realize how much I enjoyed being that cold and nasty. It's good because he's so dead. I wrestled with that originally, but that was a testament to Neil's vision," he said.
"You can throw different shades in there, but I was glad he pushed me to create the character the way he did 'cause it worked the second time around. It's that subtle material, it's quite fun to do stuff like that rather than make it so obvious."
Insurgent is set to open in theaters on March 20, 2015.
