Screen Gems announced the return of two "deceased" characters for their upcoming sequel "Underworld 2", currently filming in Vancouver.

Actors Michael Sheen (who was dumped by wife Kate Beckinsale on the set of the original) and Shane Brolly are signed on to reprise their roles of Werewolf Lucian and Vampire Kraven, for "origins" scenes set to take place during the middle-ages.

They will join returning stars Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, and Bill Nighy , as well as veteran actor Derek Jacobi who will embody elder Markus.

Director Len Wiseman also returns to helm the movie, set for release a year from now.
