Yeni 'Resident Evil' Filminin Yönetmeni Oyunların Hikayesinden Sapmayı Planlıyor

Contrary to recent rumors, the upcoming Resident Evil movie will not be a faithful adaptation of the games. Director Zach Cregger clarified that while the film will chart its own narrative path, it will preserve the iconic atmosphere that defines the Resident Evil franchise.

In a recent interview, Cregger expressed his deep admiration for the series, specifically highlighting Resident Evil 4 as a personal favorite. However, he made it clear he doesn’t intend to rigidly follow the source material:

While the director did not reveal major plot differences from the survival horror series, he promised a compelling narrative and the same immersive atmosphere that has earned the games their loyal fanbase:

Little is currently known about the film's storyline. According to leaks, the plot may center on a courier who, while delivering a package to a remote hospital, finds himself at the heart of an outbreak — isolated and surrounded by mutated creatures. Insider reports suggest that Euphoria star Austin Abrams will play the lead role.

Resident Evil is scheduled to premiere on September 18, 2026.

As a reminder, Capcom recently unveiled footage from a canceled version of Resident Evil 9, which was once planned as an online shooter.
