It was a little over three years ago thatTheo Jamesgot his big break as David, Selene’s (Kate Beckinsale) only real ally inUnderworld: Awakening. Since then - the actor has gone on to star as Four in the high-profileDivergentfranchise while mixing smaller indies in between (James is quite good as the heavy in the yet-unreleasedWar on Everyone). With this week’sUnderworld: Blood Wars, James returns to the franchise that started his career, bringing the same steely and brooding gaze apropos of a burgeoning heartthrob.

InBlood Wars, David (James) and his father Thomas (Charles Dance) attempt to bring Selene (Beckinsale) back into the vampire fold – as they learn the Lycans are intent on kidnapping Selene for some ulterior motive. Yet not everyone in the vampire community is as keen to welcome Selene back – and it’s not long before David, Selene and Thomas find themselves on the run from both Lycan and Vampire.
