In the star to his latest film Weapons,, We learned writer/director Zach Cregger would handle Resident Evil for his next project. In the months since then, he was vague about what to expect from the movie, and his latest theses are Slightly More concrete about us to tell us his game plan for Capcom’s zombie franchise.
Speaking with ReverseCregger called himself “the biggest fan of the games, so I tell a story that is a loved letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” Not too different from what he said before, Except He revealed that the film is “outside the characters of the games. It’s obedient to the genre of the games, it’s just a different story.” More specifically, he said he would not Tell the story of Leon S. Kennedy, who many expected to be the protagonist because Cregger brought Austin Abrams (also in Weapons) Play a role, and the actor himself seemed to give Leo vibrations.
Beyond that, Cregger’s comments indicate anyone who plays Austin, it will be a whole new character.

After those movies wrapped up in 2017, the 2021 Welcome to Raccoon City Loves themselves as more faithful to the first two games, but that has not resonated with audiences, like … at all.
