The official trailer for Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire (2025) kicks off with a dark and atmospheric tone, returning fans to the shadowy, gothic world of vampires and lycans. The trailer opens with a sweeping shot of an ancient vampire castle, illuminated only by moonlight. Inside, a council of vampire elders, cloaked in darkness, speaks in hushed tones about the reemergence of a forgotten enemy—a force that could threaten the balance between their kind and the lycans.
Selene (played by Kate Beckinsale), the iconic Death Dealer, reappears on-screen, standing on a windswept balcony, gazing out over a war-torn landscape. Her voiceover is full of foreboding: “The old world has crumbled, but a new darkness rises. And this time, the war is not just between us and the lycans.”
The scene shifts to intense flashbacks, revealing that a powerful new vampire faction, led by an ancient and ruthless vampire king named Magnus (played by Jason Momoa), has emerged from the shadows. This faction, once thought to be extinct, has been lying in wait for centuries, biding their time to reclaim control of the vampire world. Magnus, with his towering presence and commanding voice, declares, “We are the true rulers of this world, and we will not hide any longer.”
The trailer quickly shifts to fast-paced, brutal action sequences. Selene, now a seasoned warrior, leads a small group of allies—including David (Theo James) and Eve, her hybrid daughter—into battle. We see Selene fighting Magnus’ elite vampire warriors with her signature speed and precision, flipping through the air and slicing through enemies with ease. In one intense scene, she faces off with Magnus himself in a close-quarters fight, their clash echoing through an underground vampire crypt.
Meanwhile, the lycans, led by a new, vicious leader named Kael (played by Tom Hardy), are shown preparing for their own war, sensing that the rise of Magnus could shift the balance of power in their ongoing battle against the vampires. The trailer teases an inevitable three-way conflict between Selene’s allies, the lycans, and Magnus’ army, with glimpses of massive, blood-soaked battles in the streets and dark forests.
As the tension builds, Selene realizes that Magnus’ rise could mean the end of both the vampire and lycan races. The final moments of the trailer show her standing before a group of vampire and lycan leaders, proposing an uneasy alliance to stop Magnus. “We were enemies for centuries,” she says. “Now, we must fight together. Or we all die.”
The screen cuts to black, and the title Underworld 6: Rise of the Vampire appears, followed by the tagline: “The war is far from over.”
This trailer promises a return to the fast-paced, gothic action that fans love, while introducing a powerful new villain and an even deadlier threat to the underworld. Expect epic battles, shifting alliances, and Selene at the center of it all, fighting for the future of both vampires and lycans.
