Abandoning the Underworld series was a poor choice on her part


She was iconic as Selene and the franchise has a good fanbase but she felt like she had done "too many" Underworld movies and so dropped from it and her career went nowhere after that. Should have continue with Underworld and the role of Seline, so much potential wasted.

I think it was short-sighted of her. What's she really done since? These days it's all about franchises. The Underworld films aren't great by any means, but they're fun, and they must have done pretty well considering they've made five of them (four of which star her).

There's a lot to enjoy about the Underworld films. The aesthetic is great, and the lore is really interesting.

She did branch out with Van Helsing which wasn't just about vampires and werewolves fighting but had frankensteins monster as well.
