Weapons director's Resident Evil movie adds Fantastic Four's Mole Man actor to cast

Paul Walter Hauser as Mole Man in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Paul Walter Hauser has joined the cast of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie – and we're stoked.

According to Deadline, Hauser is set to star in the upcoming sci-fi horror video game adaptation alongside Austin Abrams. There is no word yet as to who he'll be playing, but we do know that the movie takes place "in the world of the games" and will feature an original story and characters (much like Prime Video's Fallout). This means that Abrams, who also starred in Cregger's horror hit Weapons, will not be playing Leon Kennedy – contrary to popular belief.
