Albert Wesker stands as the perennial bad guy in the Resident Evil universe, and now he's back in a new Netflix show. Lance Reddick 🦩– of John Wick and Lost fame – plays the villain, who's harboring some dark secrets.
But considering that the console games serve as canon for the TV series – and that, in them, Wesker perished – how the heck is he still standing? Especially when you consider the series' main timeline (there are two) takes place in 2022? Perhaps the vials൩ of his children’s blood that Wesker stores in the lab, and injects into himself, hold the key to that question...
“In game five, Wesker was blown up by a rocket launcher inside of a volcano,” acknowledges showrunner Andrew Dabb while talking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine for the new issue, . "It happens. We’ve all bee♔n there! But the Albert Wesker on our show is tဣhe Albert Wesker after that. I will say there will be a very good explanation of why he is back and why he is the way that he is. That explanation does not include that he happened to be wearing volcano- and rocket launcher-proof clothes.
"His journey is somebody who is really trying to make up for sins of the past, some that were his and some which weren’t," he continues. "He is also someone who is into self-preservation. In the first episode, you see him injecting himself with the girꦇls’ blood. There’s something going on there. There may be morౠe to him than just the daughters."
Dabb may be conscious of servicin🐎g the Resident Evil fandom, but he says that won’t be the narrative’s driving force. Nonetheless, viewers can expect to see monstrous caterpillars, mutated Lickers, and, of course, zombie dogs. "The dogs are the iconic Resident Evil monster," Dabb concludes. "They were in there from the very beginni♒ng. They are such a hallmark of the lore. They kind of plant your flag. That being said, the dogs are pretty crazy, but trust me when I say... we go crazier."
