Here are all the monsters confirmed to be appearing in theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citymovie.
Licker
Lickers first appeared inResident Evil 2, and they have appeared in otherReisdent Evilmovies in the past as well. Lickers operate on sound, using their long tongues to bind their victims. Players encounter their first Licker in theRaccoon City Police Department inResident Evil 2, and it looks like the creature’s debut inResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citywill go down in much the same way. Viewers see theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon CityLicker at the very end of the trailer as it chases after Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy.
Lisa Trevor
Lisa Trevor was first introduced to theResident Evilfranchise as part of theResident Evil 1remake game. One of the franchise’s most tragic figures, Lisa Trevor was subjected to horrific experiments by the Umbrella Corporation, eventually turning her into a violent, near-indestructible monster. Lisa’s inclusion inResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityhas been known for some time, but she’s only shown briefly in the trailer. TheLisa Trevor in theResident Evilmovieseems like she’s going to be a bit more intelligent than the one in the video games, but fans will have to wait and see the exact role she plays in the film.
William Birkin
William Birkinis featured multiple times in theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citytrailer, positioned as a main player in Umbrella. Viewers can see a monster that looks similar to the mutated version of William Birkin from theResident Evil 2video game, with some liberties taken. It’s entirely possible that this monster winds up being someone else, but assumingWelcome to Raccoon Citysticks to the source material, this creature is the mutated William Birkin from the video games.
Zombie Dogs
Zombie dogs are a staple of theResident Evilvideo games and they will be featured inResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityas well. In the trailer, viewers see a zombie dog tormentingChief Brian Ironsas he explores the Raccoon City Police Department parking garage. It’s unclear if the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team will encounter zombie dogs at the mansion like they do in the video game or not, but at least zombie dogs will be included in the film in some capacity.
Zombies
Of course, it wouldn’t be aResident Evilmovie without zombies, and so it’s no surprise to see the undead featured inResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Viewers get a look at numerous zombies in theResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citytrailer, including a horde trying to break into the Raccoon City Police Department. The group in theSpencer Estate mansioncome across a zombie munching on an unlucky victim, only for it to turn around and make eye contact with them mid-meal. This is a throwback to the first zombie encounter in the originalResident Evilgame, and so it’s a nice Easter egg for longtime fans of the franchise.
It’s possible thatResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citywill have other monsters that weren’t shown in the trailer. There are numerous monsters from the first two video games that are nowhere to be seen in the trailer, like the Hunters,the original Tyrant, and more. Then again, it’s possible that the filmmakers want to save some of these creatures for a potential sequel, which one has to imagine is a possibility ifResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityis a box office success.
It’s far too early to tell ifResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Cityis going to be popular with audiences or not, but there’s no denying that the movie is going to great lengths to be as accurate to the video games as possible. With its premiere in just a month’s time, fans don’t have to wait too much longer to find out how closely it sticks to the games and if other monsters are featured or not.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Citypremieres November 24 in theaters.
