Sony Pictures used its latest State of Play showcase to debut a new clip from Zach Cregger’s upcoming Resident Evil film, giving audiences their most detailed look yet at a key action sequence from the adaptation.
The near-three-minute piece focuses on protagonist Bryan Hodukavich, played by Austin Abrams, and underscores the film’s cinematic approach to the long-running Capcom horror franchise.
The studio has scheduled the theatrical release for September 18, 2026.
The clip, released during Sony’s State of Play stream, follows Bryan as he sprints down a snow-covered street while infected attackers dive from rooftops.
The sequence is visually graphic: the creatures explode on impact, covering the street in grisly detail as Bryan narrowly evades them and eventually arms himself with a machine gun.
After the confrontation, Bryan looks back and, recognizing that any companions are unlikely to return, remarks that they will not be coming back and may already be dead — a moment that foregrounds the film’s bleak survival stakes.
Resident Evil is co-written by director Zach Cregger and screenwriter Shay Hatten.
The film’s ensemble cast includes Austin Abrams in the lead role, with Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, Paul Walter Hauser, and Jonno Wilson among the credited performers.
Sony’s presentation emphasized the film’s action set pieces and practical gore effects in this newly revealed scene.
Beyond the footage, Sony and Regal Cinemas are offering a themed promotional item: moviegoers at participating Regal locations in the United States can obtain an exclusive popcorn bag modeled after Bryan’s organ transplant bag.
The promotion accompanies the broader marketing push ahead of the September 18, 2026 release.
For fans of the Resident Evil games, the movie represents another major media entry for Capcom’s franchise, which began with the original Resident Evil in 1996 and has since appeared across multiple platforms, including Nintendo systems and modern consoles.
While this film is a cinematic property produced by Sony Pictures and not a game release, its visibility on PlayStation-focused showcases like State of Play demonstrates the continued crossover between game audiences and major studio adaptations.
With a confirmed release date, a prominent cast, and promotional tie-ins already announced, the Resident Evil film remains one of the more notable horror releases on the 2026 calendar.
Additional materials and marketing details are expected to follow as the September theatrical launch approaches.
