Two months ago, reports emerged claiming that the Underworld franchise is being rebooted. We thereafter learned that the supernatural action property will, instead, continue with a non-continuity breaking installment centered around Theo James’ character, vampire David from Underworld: Awakening, as opposed to the series’ crown jewel, Kate Beckinsale’s Selene. Len Wiseman, who’s married to Beckinsale and has worked on the Underworld property since the original movie, has now revealed what else the future may hold for the franchise.
Wiseman, during a video interview with IGN at the 2014 New York Comic-Con this past weekend, revealed that another Underworld movie starring Beckinsale is, in fact, being developed in addition to the “spinoff” featuring James’ onscreen vampiric counterpart. The filmmaker also dropped the bomb about there being an Underworld TV series in the works, though he admitted that he’s not at all certain about which project – the spinoff with James, the next film starring Beckinsale, or the TV show – will happen first (if at all).
