Kali Reis Joins Resident Evil: Why This Casting Could Finally Give Fans the Movie They’ve Wanted

In this quick update, we break down the latest Resident Evil film casting news and why it matters for the franchise. We cover Zach Cherry (Severance) and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country) joining the lineup alongside Austin Abrams, Paul Walter Hauser, and Johnno Wilson. We dig into why Reis feels built for this world, what Zach Cregger brings as a horror director, and why a brand-new story set in the game universe might be the right move for the big screen.

  • Kali Reis brings a physical, grounded presence that fits the survival horror tone.

  • Zach Cregger’s track record in horror points to a sharper, more atmospheric Resident Evil.

  • “She feels like a video game character. I think she’s going to destroy any zombie that gets in her way.”

  • “It’s not retelling any of the games. It’s a new story set in the world of the games.”
