Tobias Menzies (Outlander) has signed on for a major role in Screen Gems' Underworld 5, reuniting with his Outlander director Anna Foerster, who is making her feature film directorial debut with the fifth Underworld installment. Menzies will portray a mysterious new Lycan leader named Marius, who will more than likely go toe-to-toe with Kate Beckinsale's Selene and her vampire clan.

In addition to his lead role on Starz's Outlander, Menzies also recently appeared on the third season of HBO's Game Of Thrones as Edmure Tully.

Underworld 5 is expected to kick off production this October in Prague. Cory Goodman (The Last Witch Hunter) is penning the script. Also, in addition to Beckinsale, Theo James (Divergent) is also expected to return.

I love Outlander. Maybe one day if I'm bored I'll watch the Underworld movies but I'm not holding my breath.

FriendORFaux - 8/15/2015, 7:57 AM

Theo James would make a good 'Dick Grayson' I believe.

SuperCat - 8/15/2015, 8:45 AM

Enough is enough. It's just going to end up on TNT anyway.

sKeemAn - 8/15/2015, 9:01 AM

Yeah I was hoping they would end this franchise with the last one.

Is it me or does this guy get shitty roles. Between Rome, GoT, he seems to be the young Sean Bean of medievial roles.

DallasAvenger - 8/15/2015, 9:27 AM

I haven't seen the Underworld movies so I'm not a big fan or anything but I would never wish for the film series to end since there are people who are big fans.

Beckinsale is & has been one of the sexiest actresses for many years now.
I would watch her fold towels for 2 hrs.
My hope is she's still looking fine as ever,otherwise they will need to explain how an immortal vampire looks well..old.

NoPhucksGiven - 8/15/2015, 1:50 PM

I enjoyed 1-3. but 4 was terrible. I hope they can get back on track and stick to the histories between the vampires and lycans.

superbatspiderman - 8/16/2015, 4:55 PM

They should have made a prequel about Alexander Corvinus who is the father of the vampires and Lycans. They can bring back Derek Jacobi to reprise the role.

SCOTT SPEEDMAN or GTFO! Seriously! Him, their daughter and Selene, should be a powerful family, that fights off all these LYCAN/VAMPIRE Villains or something...
