New Resident Evil movie delayed into November 2021

You'll have a to wait a little longer for Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City.

The new Resident Evil movie, Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City, has been delayed into November 2021.

Originally scheduled for a 3 September 2021 release, no reason for the delay was given.

Set in Raccoon City in 1998, the film is a reboot of the film franchise and appears to mirror the premise of the original PlayStation’s Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2. It stars Kaya Scodelario (Maze Runner) as Claire Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man) as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell (Upload) as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy) as Wesker , Avan Jogia (Zombieland Double Tap) as Leon Kennedy and Neal McDonough (Yellowstone) as William Birkin.

The film’s delay comes as the news that the new Mortal Kombat feature film was also delayed.
