Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, easily one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2026, finally has its first teaser via Sony, and it looks just as gnarly as we expected. Feast your eyes:
Starring in Cregger's new take on Capcom's iconic survival horror gaming series, Resident Evil stars Austin Abrams (Weapons), Paul Walter Hauser (The Naked Gun), Kali Reis (True Detective) and Zach Cherry (Severance).
Taking place in the same universe of the games but not related to any previously known characters (sorry, Leon S. Kennedy stans) or any of Paul W.S. Anderson's previous Resident Evil movies, Cregger's third feature was co-written with Shay Hatten (Army of the Dead), and follows hapless courier Bryan (Abrams) who is tasked with delivering a package to a remote hospital. He soon finds himself caught in the middle of an outbreak from a hospital in Raccoon City, and must fight through hordes of mutated creatures to survive.
Cregger, himself a hardcore Resident Evil fan, previously assured fans of the series that he's played a “shit load” of the games, notably Resident Evil 4, and from the looks of today's first teaser, we're inclined to believe him.
The Resident Evil teaser marks the latest development in an already exciting year for Resi fans, who already got to enjoy the record-breaking release of Resident Evil Requiem earlier this year, with a DLC and mini game still en route.
Resident Evil hits theaters on September 18. Stay tuned.
