Adeline Rudolph & Paola Núñez Interview: Resident Evil
WARNING: Mild spoilers ahead for Resident Evil season 1.
Paola Núñez and Adeline Rudolph play the daughters of two iconic characters in Netflix's Resident Evil show. Rudolph is the older version of Billie Wesker, the daughter of Albert Wesker (played by Lance Reddick in the series), while Núñez is Evelyn Marcus, the daughter Dr. James Marcus. Resident Evil takes place across two timelines, one in 2022 and the other further into the future, both of which follow the tale of two sisters — Billie and her twin, Jade.
The 2022 timeline follows Jade and Billie as they live in New Raccoon City, an Umbrella company town with a plethora of secrets behind its utopian facade. The future timeline reveals that this façade was disrupted at some point in the intervening years of the two timelines, but both Billie and Evelyn have lived to see the dystopic future that they may have helped create.
