Selene battles Lycans once again in latest Underworld: Blood Wars trailer

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

I've always been a little surprised at the longevity of both the RESIDENT EVIL and UNDERWORLD franchises; they're decent enough popcorn entertainment while also being entirely forgettable, but they've been around for close to fifteen years and we'll be getting new installments of each with RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER and UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS hitting theaters in January. The next UNDERWORLD sequel will hit theaters first and will once again follow Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she battles the Lycans in order to keep the Vampire race from teetering on the brink of extinction. A new trailer for UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS has been released which offers up more super serious Vampire vs. Lycan action splashed with a heavy coating of aggressive blue colour grading.

Turns out that all you need in order to increase your power profile is new highlights and a snazzy fur coat. Who would have thunk it. Although it seems that I'm being hard on the franchise, I know damn well that I'll wind up watching BLOOD WARS at some point. I just can't help myself.

The official synopsis for UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS:

Under the new leadership of Marius, the Lycans have increased in numbers and strength and have decimated many of the vampire covens throughout the world. With the Vampire race being on the brink of extinction, it is up to Selene to save the very coven which banished her and hunted her down as a criminal. Selene must become stronger than ever to defeat what’s in store for her next.

UNDERWORLD: BLOOD WARS will hits theaters on January 6, 2017.
