Upcoming Resident Evil Film May Star Oscar-Winner Mikey Madison
Zach Cregger, known for directing “Barbarian,” is potentially teaming up with Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison for the latest installment in the Resident Evil film series. Recent buzz in the entertainment industry suggests that Madison, fresh from her Best Actress Oscar win for her role in “Anora,” is a likely candidate to lead the cast in this popular video game-based movie.
Madison’s recent acclaim in “Anora” marked a significant milestone in her career, adding to her growing list of impressive performances. Her past work includes roles in the television series “Better Things,” the 2022 movie “Scream,” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” where she played a member of the infamous Manson family.
According to a report by World of Reel, while Madison has been approached for a part in the Resident Evil project, it’s not guaranteed that she will accept the role. As with any negotiation in Hollywood, various factors could influence the final outcome.
Additional Cast and Production Details
Prior reports indicate that Austin Abrams has already been secured as one of the leads for the new Resident Evil movie. The production of the film is expected to kick off later this year.
Meanwhile, Cregger is also busy with another project. His latest film, “Weapons,” featuring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, is scheduled to hit theaters this August.
Release Schedule and Director’s Background
The new Resident Evil movie is slated for a September 2026 release, adding to a roster of video game adaptations for that year, including “The Super Mario Bros. 2,” which is set to premiere in April 2026.
