The new Resident Evil film reboot is set to release on September 18, 2026, and it’s confirmed that Zach Cregger will co-write and direct the upcoming adaptation. Cregger gained notoriety from his writing and directorial debut for The Barbarian (2022), a cult hit that instantly made Cregger a respected name in the horror genre. When announcing his second title, Weapons, he sparked a bidding war for the project, which was eventually won by Warner’s New Line division.
