Filming for Zack Kreggers new Resident Evil adaptation will begin soon. Against this background, the names of three more actors who have joined the project have become known.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zack Cherry (\"Severance\"), Kali Reis (\"True Detective\") and Johnno Wilson (\"Metal Mayhem\") have joined the cast of the new \"Resident Evil.\"
Zack Cherry will play a scientist working in a hospital. Kali Reis got the role of a former soldier — according to the publication, this character was originally created for a male actor. Wilson's role is still being kept secret.
The new adaptation will not directly retell the events of the original games, but will offer an independent story that unfolds in parallel with the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, but in a mood closer to Resident Evil 4.
The plot will focus on a courier who must deliver a mysterious package to a hospital in Raccoon City in the middle of the night, but finds himself drawn into a chain of events that lead him to the epicenter of a zombie epidemic. It was previously reported that Austin Abrams (\"Euphoria\") will play the main role.
Zach Kregger, who made his mark this year with the horror film \"Weapons,\" is the director and co-writer. He is working on the script together with Shay Hatten, known for the third and fourth parts of \"John Wick.\" Production is carried out with the support of Constantin Film, PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures.
Filming will begin in Prague in October, and the theatrical premiere is scheduled for September 18, 2026.
