The upcoming Resident Evil movie won’t tell the story of any of the video games–a choice that writer and director Zach Cregger knows may upset fans. But the newest promo for the horror flick does strongly hint at Umbrella Corp.’s involvement. That’s fitting with the movie’s protagonist Bryan eventually finding his way into Raccoon City, as Umbrella is responsible for the zombie outbreak there.
On X, the official Resident Evil account posted two new posters for the film. The first image features a car on a forested road encountering what looks like an infected woman. Taking place at night, the headlights and red taillights create a subtle but effective Umbrella logo.

Meanwhile, the second poster seemingly focuses on a behind-the-back perspective of Bryan (Austin Abrams) walking into a snowy Raccoon City. This image connects back to Resident Evil’s debut trailer, which saw infected falling from buildings and splattering on the ground as Bryan ran for his life.
