Bradley James (Merlin; iZombie) has signed on to co-star as one of the lead villains in Screen Gems & Lakeshore Entertainment's upcoming fifth installment in the long-running Underworld franchise. Outside of being described as the film's male villain, details on his role are scarce, but we do know he'll be facing off against Kate Beckinsale (Stonehearst Asylum)'s Selene.

James is best known for his work as King Arthur Pendragon on the BBC One fantasy-adventure drama Merlin and was most recently seen on the CW zombie cop drama iZombie. He'll next be seen in the upcoming A&E series Damien, where he'll star in the titular role of Damien Thorn, the Antichrist.

Underworld 5 is set to kick off production this October in Prague. Anna Foerster (Source Code 2) is directing with a script from Cory Goodman (The Last Witch Hunter) and in addition to Beckinsale, Theo James (Divergent) and Tobias Menzies (Game Of Thrones) will also star.

No word yet on whether we'll see Scott Speedman (The Captive) or India Eisley (Underworld: Awakening) again.

Cool, I loved The Merlin series. Bradley is a decent actor. Though, he does looks weird with black hair.

I liked the first Underworld, the rest have been meeh, hope this one is at least entertaining.

Poor fella.

The world needs more Kate Beckinsale.

He should have been cast as Flash or Green Lantern. Would have been phenomenal.

I LOVES me some Kate Beckinsale...HELL! I'd drink her bath water, but ANOTHER "Underworld"? The Meatloaf song comes to mind..."I won't do that!"

Tasmaniac - 9/10/2015, 2:16 PM

Ugh, this guy has the acting range of a stick. And as for Underworld, the first one was great, the last one was just a 90 minute set up for the next one. Just crap.

BFGLOOM - 9/11/2015, 9:14 AM

Just read the script. Not horrible.
