Anthony D'Alessandro of DEADLINE has reported a new Resident Evil movie is currently in the works, and set to release in 2026.
The movie comes from Barbarian, and Weapon filmmaker Zach Cregger, and is set to return the series to its horror roots, while remaining much more faithful to the source material.
As stated in the article:
A theatrical release date of September 18, 2026 has been set, which tells you how excited the studios are to get this latest rendition up on the screen. Cregger’s screenplay, which was co-written with Shay Hatten (Ballerina, John Wick: Chapter 3 & Chapter 4), is under wraps but apparently harkens back to the original Capcom game’s horror roots.
Constantin Film is producing and co-financing the film. Constantin’s Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee (Barbarian, Minecraft) and Miri Yoon (Woman of the Hour, Weapons) and PlayStation Productions are also producing.
“I’ve been a rabid fan of these games for decades, and to be able to bring this amazing title to life is a true honor,” Cregger told Deadline on Friday.
“The world of Resident Evil experienced through Zach’s vision is an irresistible feat,” beamed Kulzer.
Added Sanford Panitch, president of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group: “Zach is one of the most talented exciting new directors to come on the scene in many years. His brilliant approach in restarting and refreshing this legendary Sony franchise instantly makes this one of our most important releases in 2026.”
