Resident Evil Director Says New Movie Isn’t About Leon Because Games Already Told That Story: ‘It Would Be…Disappointing’
Kotaku | 30.04.2026 21:28When the first trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil movie hit the internet earlier today, the reaction was about what you would expect for a film that seems devoid of any main franchise characters. Some people were excited. And some people were disappointed. But according to director and writer Zach Cregger (Weapons, Barbarian) he didn’t want to retell Leon’s story or the events of a past game because it would be “redundant” and likely “disappointing.”
