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.

  • 00:00 Casting update and who’s joined the film

  • 00:08 Why Kali Reis is the standout choice for this universe

  • 00:18 Director spotlight on Zach Cregger and his horror chops

  • 00:24 New story in the Resident Evil world vs retelling the games

  • 00:30 Hopes for set photos and early on-set vibes

  • 00:34 Final thoughts and what we’ll watch for next

  • 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.

  • The film won’t retell a specific game plot. A new story in the same universe gives the creative team room to surprise fans.

  • Early production updates and set photos will be key to understanding the tone and visual style.

  • “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.”

  • “I’m so desperate for a good Resident Evil movie. It’s a hell of an IP.”
