Sony Pictures Entertainment has released a new trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil movie reboot directed by Zach Cregger, and while the jury’s still out on whether it’s actually a good movie or not, it does manage to establish quite a chilling atmosphere. Oh, and there’s a couple of nice nods to the games too via some Easter Eggs. Resident Evil arrives in cinemas on September 16, 2026. The film is the first live-action entry in the franchise since 2021’s Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City, and follows medical courier Bryan as he finds himself caught up in a series of horrific events while on a job to Raccoon City General Hospital. It’s not clear yet, but presumably the events of the film take place parallel to the T-Virus outbreak seen in Resident Evil 2 and 3.
