The reboot, which will diverge from the continuity of the previous Resident Evil movies, is set to be a more faithful adaptation of the overall story found in the games. Filming wrapped in December 2020, and the movie will premiere on September 3, 2021.

The Resident Evil game series was a major success since its first release in 1996. The story in the first installment famously has players exploring a mansion filled with puzzles and the undead. From there, the story only grew larger, with future games taking the story of the evil Umbrella Corporation and its deadly experiments even further.

In Resident Evil 2, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield take the reins in their journey to escape the zombie-infested Racoon City and potentially find survivors, including Claire’s brother Chris. All four characters, and others from the first two parts of the games, will be a major part of the reboot movie. 

The previous series of Resident Evil movies did well at the box office and earned $1.2 billion worldwide. However, they did not stick to the expansive plots established in the games. Additionally, there wasn’t much continuity between the movies themselves, with many changes made to the plot lines throughout the series. The main character Alice, who was portrayed by Milla Jovovich, remained a constant factor throughout, and many villains and elements from the games made an appearance across the six adaptations. 

Resident Evil will release in theaters on September 3, 2021.
