Eva Mendes has dismissed reports that she is starring in the sci-fi thriller Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The Hollywood actress, who revealed that she is trying to be more selective over her film roles, has insisted that she would "never" join the computer game-based franchise.

Speaking to Female First, the 35-year-old said: "God, no! No, no, no! Never!"

As for reprising her role of Roxanne Simpson in the second instalment of Ghost Rider, Mendes added: "I think it was a great experience, and I was so proud of it. It was fun... but I think it's done.

"But look, hey, if it's Nicolas Cage again - I'll do anything with him."
