Well, if IMDB is right on the money here, it seems that we’ve got an actor locked to play the role of Leon S. Kennedy in Paul W. Anderson’s upcoming Resident Evil: Retribution. Said actor is Aidan Bristow. After looking at his previous work in the film database one comes to the realization that he really hasn’t had that many “huge” roles. That’s set to change, especially considering Leon is quite a popular character amongst Resident Evil’s fanbase. But, is this true?
IMDB has been known to jump the gun many times before when it comes to casting and whatnot, but hey, this could end up being the real deal. We’ll just have to wait for an inevitable official announcement regarding this. Which should come sooner rather than later since the notion of Leon (as well as Ada and Barry) being in the film has many fans running wild with speculation over not just said character’s portrayal, but also who’s going to be playing him.
