Just last weekend news of a fourth "Underworld" movie that would move the franchise into the -3D trend came out (and Screen Gems is looking to launch a second full trilogy from this next film). The rumored plan is that the new trilogy would hopefully bring back Kate Beckinsale’s character and now it seems we may be very close to getting confirmation that the star of the franchise will be back in the fan-favorite role as the death-dealing vampire, Selene.
According to two sources from Bloody Disgusting, Kate Beckinsale is set to return to the franchise. However, they’ve been unable to get official confirmation as of yet.
My guess is that Beckinsale will return. The continuous "Underworld" updates this week keep building on each other and there will definitely be something major soon. This is arguably her most famous role and she has a relatively open schedule at the moment. As the star of the franchise, fans and the studio want her back so she can help drive the franchise to more success in the future.
Let’s not forget that the next "Underworld" movie is coming in 3-D. Now that the movie has a recognizable brand name, bringing back the star and presenting the next film in the 3-D format will build a lot of hype and should allow for some significant growth at the box office.
No word yet on other actors/character returning, but if these movies are sequels, we can expect Scott Speedman to make a return (his schedule is also open at the moment).
Are you excited to see Kate back in action as the leather-clad Death Dealer?
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

Kate Beckinsale MUST return. That's all there is to it. Even though I loved Rise of the Lycans, it still wasn't Underworld without Kate Becks.
I couldn't agree more.
And your nickname for her makes me laugh. I do believe I will refer to her as Kate Becks from now on.
