Black Bird star Paul Walter Hauser has secured a role in director Zach Creggar's upcoming Resident Evil film adaptation. Creggar collaborates with John Wick screenwriter Shay Hatten on the script while taking directorial duties after his recent success with Weapons. The project adds Hauser as the second confirmed cast member alongside Wolfs actor Austin Abrams. Production teams target a September 18, 2026 theatrical release date. Specific plot details and additional casting remain undisclosed at this stage.

Creggar intends to craft an original narrative rather than adapt existing character storylines from the video game franchise. The director emphasizes respect for established game mythology while exploring fresh territory within that universe. His approach avoids retelling Leon Kennedy's adventures since players already experience those stories through gameplay. The filmmaker describes his vision as faithful to game rules and lore. Fans can anticipate Resident Evil Requiem on February 27, 2026 before Creggar's theatrical release.
