Welcome To Raccoon City Featurette

With his swanky haircut, glowing red eyes (hidden by his signature shades), and superhuman abilities, Albert Wesker is a top-notch villain in the "Resident Evil" video games. He makes his debut in the first "Resident Evil" game as the head of the Raccoon City police team S.T.A.R.S., but it's later revealed that he was working undercover for the Umbrella Corporation with his own ulterior motives. However, in "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City," it seems like the film will focus on Wesker's story as the head of the task force rather than his malicious turn.

In the featurette, Tom Hopper explains that the "Welcome to Raccoon City" creators didn't want to depict Wesker as a "stereotypical villain," and wanted to show who the man was "underneath the sunglasses" — which, ironically, Wesker does not sport in the new film. Writer and director of "Welcome to Raccoon City," Johannes Roberts, also said the film will see the character "evolve and become the Wesker that we all know in the games," but does that mean he will be revealed as the film's villain in the end? 

Fans will have to watch "Welcome to Raccoon City" in theaters on November 24 to see just how much of a villain the reboot makes him out to be.
