Johannes Roberts wrote and directed Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City , a 2021 action horror film. It is a reboot of the Resident Evil film series and the seventh live-action feature overall, loosely based on the video game series of the same name.
It is adapted from the narrative of the first and second games by Capcom. Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia, Donal Logue, and Neal McDonough are among the cast members. It is set in 1998 and follows a group of survivors in the small town of Raccoon City as they fight to survive a zombie epidemic.

Will There Be a Sequel of Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City?
At this time, no sequel to Welcome to Raccoon City has been revealed, and Sony has yet to confirm that one is in the works. While there is a clear step-up for a Welcome to Raccoon City sequel, it’s feasible that Sony will wait to see how well the first picture does before pushing through with a sequel.
There are no existing plot elements for a sequel to Welcome to Raccoon City, however the film’s post-credits scene does hint at where the tale could go. Ada Wong (Lily Gao) recruits Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper) to work alongside her in the film’s post-credits scene, hinting that, like in the game series, Ada and Wesker will serve as tools for Umbrella Corp, eventually becoming secondary adversaries to the leads. This is the basic setup for a Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City 2 sequel.

Which Games Are The Most Likely To Be Adapted Next?
Given that Welcome to Raccoon City’s ending closes up both the narrative of the previous two Resident Evil games, it’s unlikely that the events of both games will be revisited in any way in the future.
If Sony is attempting to adapt each of the beloved game franchise’s titles, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a natural choice for the next film. However, because all of the key characters have been established, Sony may combine the third and fourth Resident Evil games into a single film, like they did with Welcome to Raccoon City.
