Hollywood beauty Eva Mendes has killed off reports she's set to star in zombie sci-fi thriller Resident Evil: Afterlife, insisting she'd "never" join the computer game-based franchise.

The Latina actress was linked to the role of Excella Gionne in August (09), allegedly joining a cast which includes Milla Jovovich and Heroes star Ali Larter.

But Mendes is adamant she has nothing to do with the next Resident Evil sequel - and she has no desire to ever take on such a role.

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.

Asked whether the rumours are true, she told FemaleFirst, "God, no! No, no, no! Never!" In other news the Ghost Rider star is doubtful she will return for a planned sequel to the 2007 comic book movie, because she's yet to be approached by filmmakers.

The Hollywood beauty portrayed Nicolas Cage's on-screen love interest Roxanne Simpson in the action film.

She had previously ruled out reprising her character for a second installment of Ghost Rider, insisting she would only ever consider the job if Cage was also on board for the project.

Mendes said, "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."

Screenwriter David Goyer recently confirmed he was working on a Ghost Rider follow-up - but Mendes knows nothing about a sequel.

She says, "I haven't heard anything about that."
