Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire continues the dark, action-packed saga of vampires and Lycans. In this new chapter, Kate Beckinsale reprises her iconic role as Selene, the fierce Death Dealer. The film promises to blend intense action with deeper mythological elements, exploring the origins of vampire and Lycan conflicts.
The trailer opens with a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape where remnants of the vampire and Lycan wars have left the world in chaos. The screen is filled with dark hues and eerie fog, setting a foreboding tone. Selene is seen emerging from the shadows, her expression both fierce and weary. She now operates in the fringes of society, having distanced herself from the power struggles of the vampire covens.
A voiceover begins, revealing that the war between vampires and Lycans has reached a new, dangerous level. The Vampires’ Council, now fractured and weak, is being threatened by an ancient prophecy: the “Rise of the First Vampire,” a mythological figure believed to be the progenitor of all vampire-kind. This ancient vampire, known as Draven, is rumored to possess unparalleled power and is said to be awakening from centuries of slumber.
The trailer reveals that Draven (played by a new cast member, such as Tom Hardy) has risen, and with him comes a horde of newly awakened, nearly indestructible vampire warriors. His return threatens to not only rekindle the war between vampires and Lycans but also to bring about an era of darkness that could annihilate both species.
Selene is reluctantly drawn back into the conflict when she discovers that Draven’s awakening is linked to her own past. She learns that she is the key to either stopping or unleashing Draven’s full potential. With her allies scattered and her enemies growing stronger, Selene must seek out old friends and forge uneasy alliances, including a truce with the Lycans, led by a now-reformed Lucian (Michael Sheen), who returns to help battle the ancient threat.
The action scenes in the trailer are intense, featuring high-octane battles, dramatic showdowns, and breathtaking special effects. Selene is seen fighting alongside a new generation of Death Dealers and Lycans, showcasing a mix of traditional and futuristic weaponry.
The final shot of the trailer teases a climactic confrontation between Selene and Draven, with Selene saying, “The darkness will not claim us. Not today.”
The trailer ends with the tagline: “The first darkness returns. Will you survive the night?”
