Netflix has signed Nunes to play the villain in this new adaptation, which also bears no resemblance to the previous seven films the brand has released since 2002.

With its two intertwined plots, the first one has dystopian overtones about a society controlled by corporations, and the second one has given up on surviving the apocalypse. ‘Resident Evil’ will try to keep the attention of fans of video games, science fiction and dystopia with a franchise that has not stopped releasing formats in its more than 25 years of life.

While they start with a loyal audience, attempts to jump from console to the big screen don’t always work out as expected: Uncharted has recently disappointed despite expectations; Mortal Kombat failed to establish itself as a compelling saga, and Assassin’s Creed also failed to find the formula for success by bringing its cinematic plot into the present.

However, the series format brings joy to the streaming giant with The Witcher based on a series of video games that are in turn inspired by the novel, or Stranger Things itself, clearly influenced by titles from the 80s.

The scenario punctuates this operation with its disastrous consequences when, in 2036, a virus devastated humanity and reduced its population to 300 million refugees living in camps surrounded by zombies.

There, Jade Wesker, one of the daughters of Dr. Albert Wesker, will try to find out the origin of this tragedy that struck her father.
