Kate Beckinsale returns as the fatal vampire Selena in the new installment of the Underworld film franchise, Underworld: Blood Wars. It is the fifth film in the series, coming five years after the last film Underworld: Awakening (2012). In total, the films grossed $458.2 million for Screen Gems on a budget of $177 million, so it stands to reason that the war between vampires and werewolves is far from over. This installment was initially intended to be a reboot of the franchise and without the indestructible Beckinsale, who perseveres as an action heroine much like Milla Jovovich as Alice in the Invisible Evil films.
