The new Resident Evil movie is scheduled for 2026 and may revisit the mansion incident

Recently, Sony Pictures announced the restart of the "Resident Evil" film series. The new film, directed by Zach Craig, will be released in North America on September 18, 2026. In the next few months, fans will see a lot of details about the film.

The new Resident Evil movie is produced by Constantin Films and PlayStation Productions. It is said that the new Resident Evil movie will return to the horror roots of the series and will be more faithful to the settings of the early games. Constantin Films has produced six Resident Evil movies starring Milla Jovovich, as well as the 2021 Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City movie.

The Resident Evil movie seems to be revisiting the events of Chris and Jill's Spencer Mansion. This setting is a great way for the director of Savage to inject his own style into the plot while also playing to the greatest strengths of the original Resident Evil. The horror film Savage is very popular, emphasizing the tension of claustrophobia in a dilapidated house, which leads to a huge mystery.

Craig said that he is a big fan of the Resident Evil game series. Since he is so enthusiastic about the Resident Evil game, it is very likely that he will bury some game Easter eggs for players in the movie.
