Resident Evil director says it would feel "inorganic" to "shoehorn" legacy characters into his movie: "I have to put the story first and foremost"
Resident Evil movie director Zach Cregger stated that including legacy characters like Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine would feel "inorganic" to his self-contained story, prioritizing original narrative elements. He emphasized that the film's protagonist is an "idiot" with no combat skills, differentiating it from typical game characters. The movie, set to open in cinemas on September 18, will feature an entirely original story within the Resident Evil universe.
