Resident Evil (2026) broke cover at San Diego Comic-Con when director Zach Cregger said he leaned into the series' third-person, game-like camera angles and even first-person perspective while debuting a full trailer. The trailer trails Austin Abrams' courier as Raccoon City collapses, includes a self-aware beat where the protagonist notices he is in a Zach Cregger movie, and was billed as filmed for IMAX with a September 18 theatrical release. Attendees who previewed the first 18 minutes called that opening stretch some of the most entertaining in the franchise, and commentary around the trailer emphasizes that Cregger is aiming to capture the feeling of the games rather than perform a literal adaptation.
