The first film, Underworld (2003), introduces Selene, an elite vampire-warrior who defies her orders, and Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), a human who gets caught up in the war. The second film, Underworld: Evolution (2006), follows Selene and Michael as they are hunted by their enemies.

- Selene was inspired by a comic book character. Grevioux, a huge comic book fan, told Coming Soon that “The model for Selene was the psychic vampire of the Hellfire Club in the X-Men comics—the Black Queen Selene.”
- Halle Berry could have played Selene. In 2017, the Underworld Facebook page revealed that Halle Berry had been “considered” to play Selene. Kate Beckinsale ultimately nabbed the role, and Berry would go on to don a skintight black costume of her own in 2004’s Catwoman.
