Director Zach Cregger Ensures Resident Evil Film Retains Integrity of Original Games
Zach Cregger, known for his previous works, is set to direct a new Resident Evil movie that aims to honor the source material without altering iconic characters.
Zach Cregger, director of the highly anticipated Resident Evil film set for 2026, reassures fans, stating, “I'm not gonna steal Leon and put him in an original story.” He aims to create a narrative that respects the Resident Evil series while introducing fresh elements not directly drawn from existing games.
