The Resident Evil Series Spoiled The Alice Clone Twist A Movie Early
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter revealed that Milla Jovovich's Alice is a clone, but the series gave this reveal away in the previous entry. Alice was an original creation for the Resident Evil movie, with the character having never appeared in any of the games. Alice and her journey were inspired by Alice In Wonderland, with Jovovich's character also descending into a world filled with bizarre creatures. The success of 2002's Resident Evil saw the movie franchise evolve into its own entity, occasionally borrowing characters and ideas from the video games but ultimately having little connection to them.
The Resident Evil movie franchise was very successful too, with the six movies collectively grossing over $1 billion worldwide. Jovovich and her creative partner/husband Paul W.S. Anderson called it a day with the series after 2017's Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. This saw Alice race against time to find an airborne antidote to the t-Virus that destroyed the planet and featured her last showdown with Umbrella. The sequel also gave insight into Alice's fractured past, revealing she was really a clone of Alicia Marcus, the co-owner of Umbrella.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter even redeemed the Red Queen, while revealing the murderous A.I. was based on the likeness of young Alicia. Given how sloppy the Resident Evil movies' overarching storyline was, The Final Chapter's ending at least tied some of its disparate plot strands together with this reveal. Previous entries had already revealed the existence of clones within the world of the series, with Resident Evil: Afterlife opening with Alice raiding an Umbrella HQ with an army of clones.
