Film production of Resident Evil movie, led by the Weapons Director, expands cast with inclusion of Fantastic Four's Mole Man actor.
In the world of cinema, excitement is building for a fresh take on the classic video game series, Resident Evil. Director Zach Cregger, known for his work in comedy and the horror hit Weapons, is at the helm of this highly anticipated project.
Cregger has expressed his enthusiasm about the response from fans of the games, assuring that the movie will stay true to the experience of the original series. Co-written with Shay Hatten, the screenplay promises an original story and characters, setting it apart from the Paul W.S. Anderson-directed films that came before.
The Resident Evil movie is scheduled to hit theaters in 2026, joining the list of upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond. The film will take place in the world of the games, providing a familiar yet innovative setting for audiences.
Joining Cregger in this adventure is a talented cast, including Paul Walter Hauser and Austin Abrams. Hauser, who recently starred in the 2025 blockbuster Fantastic Four as the villain Mole Man, will portray a character yet to be revealed. Abrams, who also starred in Cregger's Weapons, will not be playing Leon Kennedy in this version of the Resident Evil movie.
Rumours of Chris Farley's involvement in the Resident Evil film are unfounded. Similarly, there is no information suggesting that Paul Walter Hauser is involved in a project with Farley. Instead, Hauser is set to star in a separate biopic, playing the late and legendary Chris Farley, directed by Josh Gad.
The list of upcoming video game movies also includes the Resident Evil movie, indicating a growing trend of adapting popular video games into films. With Cregger at the helm, fans of the Resident Evil series can look forward to a unique and exciting take on the beloved franchise.
