The first trailer forResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityis here, packed with zombies and horror galore. This trailer is packed with Easter eggs for fans of the games, but also looks to be a great way to restart this film series by returning to where this series began.
The first trailer forResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityimmediately feels more in line with the beginning of the Capcom video game series than the previous film adaptation did. The trailer takes us back to July 16, 2025, in Raccoon City, as we see glimpses of iconic locations from the first two games, including the first game’s mansion, and the Raccoon Police Department.Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citylooks to blend the story of the first two games, as we see Claire Redfield (KayaScodelario) and Chris Redfield (RobbieAmell) alongside each other, while we also see Jill Valentine (HannahJohn-Kamen), and Leon S. Kennedy (AvanJogia), amongst other fan-favorites.
The trailer is also packed with references to the original games, from the appearance of Lisa Trevor (MarinsMazepa), a licker dropping right in front of Claire, and the startling revelation of the first zombie the player saw in the game.Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityalso looks to get into some of the lore of the series, including the creation of the virus that has zombified the entire town, William Birkin (NealMcDonough) and his experiments, and the Ashford twins. And of course, what would a horror trailer be without a slowed-down version of a pop song, this time with 4 Non Blondes' “What’s Up.”
