Resident Evil Movie: The Boys' Homelander Actor Agrees He'd Be Good For Wesker
Antony Starr says, maybe jokingly, that he agrees he'd make a good Wesker

Of course, nothing is confirmed here, and Starr may just be joking around. We also don't even know if Wesker will be in the movie. Starr's Homelander character is a menacingly evil bad guy, so he definitely has experience playing someone with that temperament.
Paul W.S. Anderson made a series of Resident Evil movies that made a billion dollars, but the new one won't be anything like those.
Austin Abrams had been cast in the new Resident Evil movie as a lead, while Oscar-winner Mikey Madison is said to be in the mix for a part. Production on the movie is said to begin later this year.
Cregger's newest movie, Weapons, is coming to theaters this August, starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner. His best-received film, Barbarian, was released in 2022.
The new Resident Evil movie is set for release in theaters in September 2026. It won't be the only video game movie coming out that year, as Nintendo's The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, which may be called Super Mario World, is coming in April 2026.
Cregger was previously best known for his work in the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U'Know. He co-directed 2009's Miss March with his late WKUK co-star Trevor Moore, but it was Barbarian that catapulted Cregger to a new level of fame and success. He is reportedly receiving a fee of $20 million to write and direct the new Resident Evil movie for Sony.
