Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City Sequel Chances Addressed By Star
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City's sequel chances seem high, according to star Tom Hopper. The 2021 movie acted as a reboot of Constantin Films' big-screen franchise as writer/director Johannes Roberts sought to closer adapt Capcom's survival horror video games, merging the stories of the first two titles. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City was set in 1998 and revolves around a group of police officers in the titular Midwestern town as it comes under siege from a zombie outbreak.
Kaya Scodelario led the cast of Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City as Claire Redfield alongside Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy, Donal Logue as Chief Brian Irons and Neal McDonough as Dr. William Birkin. Hitting theaters this past November, the film received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics for its lackluster writing but received praise for its faithfulness to the source material. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City would garner a modest box office haul, grossing over $41 million against its $25 million budget, and one star thinks this could lead to something further.
