BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Cate Blanchett, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role as the charismatic monarch in 1998's "Elizabeth," is ready to appear in the third sequel, according to media reports Tuesday.

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

"There are endless possibilities with Elizabeth ... And I think there will be a lot more Elizabeth (films) because she's endlessly fascinating", Blanchett, star of both sequels, told the media.

"Elizabeth: The Golden Age" picks up several years after the first ended, with Elizabeth I more confident in her rule and facing her greatest challenge: the attempted overthrow of Protestant England in 1585 by the Catholic figurehead of Europe, King Philip II of Spain.

Shekhar Kapur, the director of the two films, is very keen on making the trilogy.

"The first one was about power and love, betrayal, survival, separation and disengaging all in the context of power. This one is much more about absolute power ... and being divine ... and what that means" he said.

"The third one (would be) about if you become a model in your life, how would you face mortality ... If you go to the top, and you suddenly are going to die, you become average, ordinary by dying because everybody dies."

On a more intimate level, Blanchett added: "The first film was about denial, a woman denying herself in terms of her role ... This one is about acceptance, a woman having to confront that she is aging."
