Resident Evil is returning to our screens later this year with a new reboot from the mind of Weapons director (and Resi superfan) Zach Cregger. However, while this will be the eighth movie in the franchise, it acts as a new start for the game on the big screen. This means it won't be linked to Paul W.S. Anderson's movies nor the panned 2021 film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
Instead, Cregger's version tells an original, fresh story set in the game universe. Don't expect to see Resident Evil legend Leon S. Kennedy, though, as this version introduces new characters to the franchise. Weapons star Austin Abrams leads the cast as a previously unseen hospital courier, and is joined by Paul Walter Hauser and Zach Cherry in the mysterious new story. So for everything we know about who they're playing – as well as what the new trailer reveals – we've compiled a comprehensive guide to the Resident Evil movie below.
