Resident Evil director Zach Cregger jokes about fan backlash

Kiswahili

Zach Cregger, director of the upcoming Resident Evil live-action film, has warned that fans will 'crucify' him if the reboot disappoints. Speaking to The New York Times, the filmmaker behind Barbarian and Weapons expressed his own fears as a gamer about video game adaptations. The movie is set for release on September 18, 2026.

Zach Cregger is directing and co-writing the next Resident Evil movie, following the success of Resident Evil Requiem around the franchise's 30th anniversary. This comes after the poorly received 2022 film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Cregger, known for his horror-comedy work, told The New York Times that he shares fans' concerns over adaptations of beloved games like The Last of Us, Fallout, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. He typically responds to such announcements with, 'Don't ruin this for me.'
