Resident Evil: Death Island‘s latest trailer is giving longtime fans something they’ve always wanted: several of the most popular characters together in one place.
On Tuesday, TMS Entertainment released another trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island – the franchise’s new animated film. Like the other CGI films, this movie takes place within the same universe as the video games – that detail is particularly noteworthy since, for the first time, several of Resident Evil’s most iconic characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, Rebecca Chambers, and Chris Redfield will all be part of one storyline.
Watch the new Resident Evil: Death Island teaser for yourself below. Keep in mind that while there’s a theatrical release date of July 7, 2023, in the trailer – that’s only for Japanese cinemas. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will distribute the film internationally, but there’s no word on when that’ll happen.
It may sound silly, but this truly is an Avengers come-together moment for longtime fans. Source: I’m a huge fan, and this has never happened below. Leon and Jill in one movie? Sign me up.
Remember, the CGI Resident Evil movies do not share continuity with Paul Anderson’s 2002 Resident Evil movie and its many sequels starring Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, or Netflix’s Resident Evil series – none of the live-action films, basically.
