It’s not that surprising, but actress Kate Beckinsale doubts she’ll ever return as Selene for another “Underworld” sequel.
Although Beckinsale starred in the first two films of the franchise, she won’t appear in the upcoming prequel “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans,” which is set for release Jan. 23, 2009.
In a recent interview with ComingSoon, she said she’s not sure whether to do another film: "I feel like I've played that character enough times that I don't think I'd be excited to play the same character again. It's a weird experience.”
To be honest, I didn’t expect her to return anyway. I enjoyed the first “Underworld” and hated the second, and I wouldn’t want her to return to something that lost its originality after the first flick.
If you can’t wait to see Beckinsale back on the big screen, watch out for Rod Lurie’s upcoming “Nothing But the Truth,” which opens later this year. She’ll also topline Dominic Sena’s next action thriller “Whiteout.”
