It's a detail that confirms Cregger's intention to focus on the monstrous aspect of the Resident Evil universe.

The spot also features the first appearance of Paul Walter Hauser in the film.
Set in the world of the famous video game saga, the new Resident Evil stars Austin Abrams as Bryan, a medical courier unwillingly caught up in a night destined to turn into a desperate fight for survival. The Italian theatrical release is set for September 17, 2026.
