Those who can’t wait to visit Kate Beckinsale in the Underworld next January may want to stop by San Diego’s Comic-Con. The beautiful 37-year-old Brit will be front-and-center at the Underworld 4: New Dawn panel, taking place at Hall H on Friday, July 22, from 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm.

Joining Beckinsale on stage will be costars Michael Ealy (“FlashForward”) and Theo James (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger); directors Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein (Shelter); and producer/hubby Len Wiseman. Rumor has it attendees will get a sneak peak at the film, which opens wide in theaters on Jan 20. 2012.

Underworld 4: New Dawn finds vampire Selene (Beckinsale) awakening from a 15-year coma to discover that she is mother to a 14-year-old half-vamp/half-lycan daughter. Together, they take on an evil corporation hellbent on creating super lycans.

Kate Beckinsale is one Clatto’s Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.
