New Resident Evil Movie Trailer: Every Official Trailer

The latest Resident Evil movie trailer is the one for Resident Evil (2026), written and directed by Zach Cregger, and the film has been in US theaters since September 18, 2026. It opened to about $60 million domestic and $108.3 million worldwide, according to TheWrap, and a home video release is reported for November 3, 2026 (Sony has not confirmed that date). Only trailers from official studio YouTube channels count here, which rules out fan edits and re-uploads. The Japanese animated Resident Evil films sit outside this guide.

Yes, and it has already arrived: Resident Evil (2026) is the new film, released in the US on September 18, 2026 by Sony Pictures. TheWrap reports a $75 million budget shared by TriStar Pictures, Constantin Film and Davis Films. The film runs 95 minutes and is rated R in the US, 15 in the UK and MA 15+ in Australia. For whatever follows it, the new Resident Evil movie page tracks the status.

The film follows Bryan (Austin Abrams), an ordinary medical courier working a snowy night. He takes a job delivering an urgent package to Raccoon City General Hospital, and it pays double his usual rate. On the way a little girl bites him, and at the hospital he meets people twisted by the Umbrella Corporation's outbreak. Around Abrams the cast includes Paul Walter Hauser as Paul, Kali Reis as Maxine and Zach Cherry as Carl, while Cregger himself voices the Intercom. Hays Holladay and Ryan Holladay are the composers. For the wider ensemble, see the Resident Evil cast.

It is rated R in the US (15 in the UK, MA 15+ in Australia), and the setup is a bitten courier trapped in a hospital during an outbreak. An R rating signals strong violence, so this is a restricted horror film. Beyond that, whether it frightens you is a matter of taste (and of how you handle hospital corridors at night). Our verdicts will appear on the Resident Evil reviews page once they are written.

The live action films fall into three runs, and each run has its own trailer set.

The six Alice films (2002 to 2017). These star Milla Jovovich as Alice, a heroine created for the films who does not appear in the games. Resident Evil (2002) was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and came out in the US on March 15, 2002. Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), directed by Alexander Witt, sends Alice and Jill Valentine through a quarantined Raccoon City while Nemesis hunts them. Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), directed by Russell Mulcahy, moves to a desert wasteland with Claire Redfield leading a convoy. Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017) were all directed by Anderson, and the last one sends Alice back to the Hive beneath Raccoon City.

The 2021 reboot. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, directed by Johannes Roberts, arrived on November 24, 2021. It goes back to 1998 with Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine and Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield.

The 2026 film. Resident Evil (2026) leaves the established heroes behind for new characters.

The budgets show how differently each run was pitched. The six Alice films ranged from $33 million for Resident Evil (2002) up to $65 million for Retribution, and the reboot cost $25 million. The 2026 film cost $75 million, the highest in the series, and Deadline describes its opening weekend of about $60 million as the franchise best in the US.
