Next year, Resident Evil will be shuffling back to theaters with a new reboot movie from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Now, Resident Evil's big-screen comeback may have its first star.

Also like a zombie, it's pretty stinky and usually rotten. The seven live-action Resident Evil films have been a string of critical flops, with none of them scoring above 38% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Producers on the movie include Constantin Film, Vertigo Entertainment, and PlayStation Productions. Resident Evil will open in theaters on September 18, 2026.
