Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Film Tells an Original Side Story

Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film, arriving September 18, 2026, tells an original story set alongside the Resident Evil 2 game's events rather than retelling them. Protagonist Bryan (Austin Abrams) is a medical courier surviving outside Raccoon City. No franchise film adaptation has previously taken this side-story approach. Sony Pictures distributes domestically.
