Blanchett to star in third Elizabeth film

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett is keen to appear in a third film as the British Queen Elizabeth because the 16th Century British monarch is "endlessly fascinating".

The actress starred as Elizabeth in the 1998 film, and has reprised her role in forthcoming sequel 'The Golden Age'.

And Blanchett insists there is more material about the royal to merit further films.

Blanchett says: "There are endless possibilities with Elizabeth... And I think there will be a lot more Elizabeth (films) because she's endlessly fascinating."
