Rebecca Chambers and Claire Redfield are back!

Rebecca Chambers and Claire Redfield makes their canonical comeback to the Resident Evil lore. Both of them will be Joining Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield in Resident Evil: Death Island. This is the first time that the 5 of the Playable Resident Evil Protagonists canonically worked together. Ada Wong is the only one missing. The movie portrays what occurred after the events of Resident Evil 6 and takes place before Resident Evil 7 and Village. The Redfield siblings on the screen together is Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Jill and Leon never met before so it is interesting the two blue color coded characters finally meet. They are together in Dead by Daylight
but it is not canon. Jill and Rebecca  are both in Resident Evil 1 but they never interacted.

 

The trailer seem to promise to make the ladies shine. Capcom had sidelines these ladies in Games and movies in favor of Chris and Leon.

Rebecca was kidnapped Resident Evil: Vendetta. Now it seemed like she is there to Save Chris, Jill and Leon. Claire’s last game appearance is Resident Evil: Revelations 2. The Netflix animated limited series, Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, sidelined her in favor of Leon, despite her appearance in the show.  Jill Valentine’s last canonical appearance is Resident Evil 5. Revelations is a prequel of it, so her fate had remained a mystery for a long time. I hope this movie is an apology on how the series treated these ladies in favor of Chris and Leon.

The Silent Female Antagonist of Resident Evil: Vendetta, Maria Gomez makes a comeback. She now serves a new villain named Dylan. Dylan wants vengeance and spreading  T-Virus in Alcatraz is his way of doing it. Something you will notice is that everyone aged except for Jill because T-Virus slowed down her aging. Dylan is the brother of Glenn Arias who is the antagonist of the previous film.

A Bio-terrorist attacked happened in the tourist spot Alcatraz Island. People seem to be infected by the T-Virus. The cause on infection in many of the early Resident Evil Games. Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield are sent to a Mission to investigate the attacks. Jill Valentine is back years after she recovered from Wesker’s Brainwashing. She is the one of the few people in the world with immunity from the T-virus. It may have slowed down her aging but all what she had been though makes her suffer from PTSD. Things will become hard for the trio so Claire and Rebecca will come to help them. For the first time in Resident Evil history, 5 of the main heroes of the game are back. See this Grand Reunion this July 7.

Capcom wasted their equivalent of Avengers: Endgame to a cgi movie. This should have been a game. The last time Jill is playable is a remake, The last time Rebecca is playable is a remaster. I hope these women will not be set aside in favor of Chris and Jill. Heck Jill is more popular than Chris but Chris was in almost every single Resident Evil game while Jill is in spin offs and crossovers.

Claire got badly treated in Vendetta and Infinite Darkness, That's why I do not want to see her with Leon again. I want a Solo Claire movie or game. Claire also got sidelined because of her Brother Chris in Resident Evil Code Veronica. They better Give Claire Justice in this movie.

The Last time The Redfield Siblings are on the same canonical event is Code Veronica.I'm so excited to see Rebecca Chambers and Claire Redfield finally getting the attention they deserve in the upcoming Resident Evil: Death Island movie! It's been a long time coming, and it's great to see them joining forces with Leon, Jill , and Chris. I can't wait to see how this Grand Reunion and this is what Resident evil 6 should have been like. The only characters that needs returns now are Carlos, Sheva,Billy, Helena, Jake and Sherry.

My only complain here is they copy pasted Jill and Claire's models from Resident Evil 3 remake and Infinite Darkness. How lazy can they be,

I fully agree that Chris and Leon have seized the place of the Resident Evil series' female characters. It is like Capcom have no trust for their female characters. It's encouraging to know that Capcom is now recognizing the importance of characters like Rebecca and Claire, and I'm hoping that this film will serve as an apology to fans for the sausage fest in the previous games and films.

I'm a bit disappointed that only the white characters are returning for Resident Evil: Death Island. While it's great to see Rebecca and Claire getting the recognition they deserve, what about Sheva, Carlos, and Ada? These characters have played important roles in the franchise, and it's disappointing that they've been left out of this Grand Reunion. I hope Capcom takes note of this and works on better representation in future Resident Evil media.

I want to be infected by T-virus then have the vaccine injected on me hours before I become a zombie so I wont age just like Jill. Jill is the perfect soldier the virus intended to be used for.
