• He is in a relationship with a woman named Michelle, who recently told him she is pregnant.

Film Background

Resident Evil (2026) is a standalone reboot directed by Zach Cregger and co-written by Cregger and Shay Hatten. It takes place alongside the Raccoon City outbreak from Resident Evil 2 but follows original characters.

During a snowy nighttime delivery, Bryan becomes stranded and pulled into the developing outbreak. His journey takes him through isolated homes, dangerous roads, infected areas, and Raccoon City General Hospital as he attempts to survive and complete a delivery that is far more important than he initially realizes.

The film mixes survival horror, body horror, action, and dark comedy. Bryan keeps the story grounded because he is not a trained hero destined to save the world—he is simply an ordinary courier trapped in an impossible situation.
