Proud wife guy and perpetual video game adaptor Paul W.S. Anderson broke the box office with his six-movie Resident Evil series that evolved into blockbuster action slop (at least by <u>The Final Chapter<\/u>). Johannes Roberts stayed faithful to Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 in his overheated and underperforming reboot, <u>Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City<\/u> (which received no sequels). Then there\u2019s Andrew Dabb\u2019s <u>Resident Evil show for Netflix<\/u>, which I didn\u2019t mind all that much, but it never caught on, and Netflix canceled it after a single season.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Resident Evil (2026) Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Enter Zach Cregger, <u>who\u2019s drawn ire from some Resident Evil fans<\/u> who panicked when hearing that this fourth reboot wouldn\u2019t feature anything resembling the games\u2014no heartthrob Leon S. Kennedy; no Spencer Mansion; no Lickers. \u201cWe want what we already like,\u201d some complained, completely ignoring Welcome to Raccoon City. Instead, we get a movie centered on Austin Abrams\u2019 inept, expectant father and medical courier, Bryan, on his mission to deliver a package of grave importance to Raccoon City General Hospital.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">What he doesn\u2019t know is that Raccoon City is ground zero for a t-Virus outbreak that turns anyone into these tentacle-waving zombie mutants, and what he\u2019s carrying is required for the cure.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>More From Raccoon City: <\/strong><strong>Resident Evil Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The story is an all-out sprint from Point A to Point B that sets Bryan on a collision course with a host of t-Virus obstacles. First, it&#8217;s a farmhouse where an elderly couple and their dog introduce Bryan to a sample of the horrors to come. Then, after being bitten by an infected child, he\u2019s connected with an Umbrella scientist (Paul Walter Hauser) who definitely didn\u2019t drop the original batch of stabilizing agent required to complete a vaccine, before once again finding himself alone, surrounded by unspeakable horrors, his condition worsening. After being chased down alleyways by a rat-king zombie freak, through sewers by actual infected rats, and then down Raccoon City\u2019s main road while zombies dive-bomb from rooftops above, he finally reaches the hospital. After a few more challenges\u2014an acid-vomiting zombie, the maternity ward from hell, Bryan\u2019s final battle with the rat-king-thing\u2014he reaches the quarantined laboratory atop Raccoon City General Hospital.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Resident Evil Ending Explained<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">When Bryan reaches the silver laboratory door, it whooshes open, revealing Zach Cherry\u2019s lead Umbrella scientist. Bryan is covered in blood, shoeless, and hiding his mutating body under a puffy winter jacket. But he\u2019s got the goods, and Umbrella couldn\u2019t be happier. Cherry\u2019s lab-coated smartypants invites Bryan inside, since he\u2019s come all this way and possibly just saved humanity. Bryan obliges as a courtesy, because secretly, he needs the antidote to reverse his condition.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As a throwback joke, he pulls out a document that requires the recipient&#8217;s signature\u2014but drops it in the decontamination room when sterilizing mists blast from all angles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-684634384 jsx-2659527929 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">Bryan is a ticking time bomb of a bioweapon.<span class=\"stack jsx-2959124702 jsx-326843967\"><span>\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Inside, Umbrella\u2019s team of surviving scientists jump into action. Bryan sits in the corner, battered and bloodied, while the team uses the agent to finalize a t-Virus antidote. But as the process nears completion, Bryan gets antsy. He starts wheeling his chair closer, and that\u2019s when one of Umbrella\u2019s team notices his gnarly state and sends the room into panic mode.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Bryan is a ticking time bomb of a bioweapon. As he sat there, his figure morphed into a <u>William Birkin-level<\/u> Resident Evil boss. All the Umbrella scientists needed to do was send liquids through machines, pop out the cure, and get it in the right hands. Now, Bryan stands in their way, unable to control his extra appendages.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A particularly petrified lab assistant tries to use a syringe to extract the ultra-green formula from one of the contraptions the scientists are using. He does, as Bryan\u2019s tentacles start whipping his colleagues around. Then, as his mutation worsens, a gigantic mouth appears from his stomach and starts eating the scientists one by one. A poor soul tries to deter Bryan with fire extinguisher vapor, but that clouds everyone\u2019s vision as more mist seeps in from the ceiling after Bryan hurls someone, breaking pipes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It\u2019s not a Resident Evil movie in this moment. It\u2019s more like the end of Re-Animator, but in a laboratory instead of a morgue. Yet sadness undercuts the brutal comedy of errors. Bryan pleads with anyone to inject him with the antidote, especially because, right before entering the laboratory, he finally reaches an emotional epiphany about how much he wants to raise a baby with his girlfriend. But any time one of the Umbrella employees sneaks close enough, they&#8217;re devoured by Bryan\u2019s monster gut.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Not to mention, the scientists are terrible at holding onto the syringe, as it\u2019s booted around the room with each violent death munch.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So the slapstick massacre continues until only one scientist is left, cowering by himself. Instead of injecting Bryan, he sprints to the door and hopes his access card will grant him freedom. The door shuts behind Bryan, as the doofus breaks for the elevator. But it\u2019s a failed escape, as Bryan tackles the man out a window, dropping them onto a skybridge that connects hospital buildings.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Sadly, Bryan completely loses control. His mutation reaches peak evolution\u2014tentacles whipping, massive eyeballs bulging from half his face, his humanity completely erased. Bryan, now lost to the infection, turns the man into his final snack as the syringe\u2014civilization\u2019s only hope\u2014plummets to the snowy ground below.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As National Guard helicopters approach, they see Bryan\u2019s terrifying form. We see it too, as the camera angles from their perspective. One final zoom brings the camera straight into Bryan\u2019s eye\u2014into his fully infected bloodstream, and WHAM, right into the credits.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img alt=\"null\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Bad news, Bryan&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Did the camera represent a bullet? A missile? [Shrug.] That\u2019s it. It\u2019s the introduction most other Resident Evil movies would start on. Umbrella\u2019s only chance at containing the t-Virus was ruined by the only man who made it possible. Bryan\u2019s arc ends in tragedy, since he\u2019ll never live the happy family life he finally convinced himself he deserved. The syringe is smashed (presumably), the outbreak is unstoppable, and somewhere\u2014nowhere near this film\u2014the post-outbreak events of Capcom\u2019s Resident Evil series are about to unfold.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Does Zach Cregger&#8217;s Resident Evil Have a Post-Credits Scene?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As noted earlier, don\u2019t stay for a post-credits scene; there isn\u2019t one.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Cregger has gone on record while promoting Resident Evil about how he didn\u2019t expect such backlash from its fanbase. He\u2019s obsessed with the games and made the Resident Evil he wanted to see. His logic? Because you can go play the right Resident Evil games if you want Leon S. Kennedy\u2019s story\u2014it exists. Why copy-and-paste an adaptation of video games that are already impressively cinematic? Cregger\u2019s Resident Evil is his baby, his way, as an expansion of Resident Evil\u2019s universe. He&#8217;s also said that he&#8217;s done with franchise films after this, so why would he set up a sequel with a post-credits scene?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And yet, the possibilities are endless for Resident Evil, even if different filmmakers come next. Don\u2019t you want to see as many as we can?<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/resident-evil-movie-2026-ending-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You want to know if the new Resident Evil movie has any post-credits scenes or not, right?
