Booooo. Tired of the race swapping and Wesker was my favorite.
Lance Reddick is the best actor ever connected to a Resident Evil movie. They are lucky to have him.
This is not the same thing as a producer using unknown randos to fulfill DIE quotas.
Upvoted you because I agree Lance Reddick is a machine actor who they’re lucky to have (he will certainly do a better job than that dipshit who played Wesker in the Mila Jovovitch films), but this is still textbook Netflix brown washing just for the sake of it. They could have maybe created a new character for him, change things up a bit, I dunno maybe try to be a little creative for once? But nope, politics > substance.
Rumour is Jill Valentine will be a POC as well.
I’ll pass
Well the rest of the cast are unknown randos used to fulfill DIE quotas though...
and Lance is portraying a known character who is factually white with blond hair. It's just stupid.
“AY YO THESE FUCKIN RAYSIS POLICE LET THAT CREEPY WHITE BOY STAB THAT NIGGA. FUCK THE POLICE!”
Yes, but also find a fucking white guy.
Stop changing the race of characters.
