Naturally, a Resident Evil Requiem fan appreciates the delicate nature of heroes Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy, but a true connoisseur reaches in the back for something rough and bleeding from the eyes. They're loyal to mutant Selena Corey, the septic diva Capcom clearly made as more zombie meat to cut through, but who – to actor Isabella Inchbald's delight – has instead become a star.
After seeing so much Resident Evil cosplay, fan art, and even soft rock songs dedicated to the zombie, I had to talk to Inchbald about Selena Corey's current status as the It-girl of Rhodes Hill Care Center. The actor – whose past credits include morally dubious scientist Lucy in Dying Light: The Beast, and the English voice of the eponymous nun Indika in the existential horror hit from 2024 – can't believe it.
