'Underworld 5' actor Theo James is said to get a bigger role as the vampire David in the upcoming movie. He also admits that he is too inappropriate to get active on social media.
'Underworld 5' is the latest film in the action-horror with James set on joining the cast to reprise his role as the vampire Selene's ally. The English actor briefly appeared in the 2012 release 'Underworld: Awakening' however, it was reported that he may have a larger role to fill for the next one. In a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Cory Goodman's script was said to focus on a new generation of vampires caught in the unforgiving battle against a clan of Lycans.
The previous 'Underworld' film revealed David as a vampire-corvinus strain hybrid who was originally a pure-bred vampire. His father is Thomas, the leader of one of the remaining vampire covens who believes Selene to be a traitor.
David eventually becomes Selene's progeny in her fight against the Lycans. In one particular battle scene, he acquired a fatal wound and would have died if not for Selene's help of reviving him with her own hybrid blood.
According to Screen Rant, James will reprise his role as the leader of the new generation of vampires. He will be joined by two unnamed female co-stars. This remains to be confirmed at the present, however. It would also be unlikely that fans will take it straight from James himself as he isn't a fan of social media.
Yahoo! Celebrity reports that the 'Divergent' star admitted to avoiding social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter due to his reported naughty streak. He said, "I'm not a huge social media person because I say a lot of inappropriate things so it would be a dangerous place to be." He also added that SnapChat would be the last of his choices saying it is only good for sending photos of X-rated things.
'Underworld 5' is the latest film in the commercially successful vampire franchise which will likely be released on 2016 or 2017. James will star alongside Kate Beckinsale who will also reprise her role as the vampire Selene.
