For the most part, the 2019Resident Evil 2remake was accurate to the original game, with players exploring similar locations, battling the same enemies, and solving familiar puzzles. However, there were some key differences in the remake as well. For example, theResident Evil 2remake includes a new location for theClaire Redfieldscenario, and it seems that location will also be featured in the upcomingResident Evilmovie reboot.
The latestResident Evilmovie reboot set photo shows the outside of the Raccoon City Orphanage, which first appeared in theResident Evil 2remake. In theResident Evil 2remake, Sherry Birkin is kidnapped and taken to the orphanage by Chief Brian Irons. It should be noted that Chief Brian Irons has been cast in theResident Evilmovie reboot, with the character set to be played byGotham’s Donal Logue, but Sherry Birkin has not been cast at the time of this writing.

While Sherry Birkin has not been cast in theResident Evilmovie reboot, her father has. When theResident Evilmovie reboot castwas first announced, it was confirmed that veteran actor Neal McDonough would be portraying the villainous William Birkin in the film. There’s no word yet if William’s wife Annette will be in the new movie or not.
TheRaccoon City Orphanageis just the latest location fromResident Evil 2that’s been confirmed for theResident Evilmovie reboot. Its presence seems to indicate that the movie will be taking after the 2019 video game more than the original, but then again, the two games are very similar in terms of story anyway. However, there have been set photos that indicate that the infamous mansion incident from the firstResident Evilgame will be featured prominently as well.
SomeResident Evilmovie reboot set photoshave shown off the interior of the mansion as it will appear in the new movie, so it seems that the movie won’t be simply skipping over the plot of the first game. Not only that, but it’s heavily rumored thatLisa Trevor, one of the most infamous monsters from theResident Evilgame remake, will also be featured in the movie reboot.
While theseResident Evilmovie set photos may give fans a general idea of what they can expect from the film, the fact is that they won’t know for sure what’s going on until they see it for themselves. Assuming that the movie isn’t pushed back due to any COVID-19 delays or other reasons, theResident Evilmovie reboot will premiere in theaters at some point in 2021.
