took over the role of Wesker in 2010's '' Resident Evil: Afterlife'' as a main antagonist of the film, where the character is closer to his ''Code Veronica'' and especially his ''Resident Evil 5'' incarnations, complete with superhuman strength, speed, healing and glowing red eyes; he even wears the same outfit as in the latter game. Wesker says some of his lines from the game as well, and the fight between Wesker and Chris and Claire Redfield in the film is an almost shot-for-shot remake of a fight between Wesker and Chris and Sheva in ''Resident Evil 5''. He later appears in '' Resident Evil: Retribution'' as a defector from Umbrella, who sends

to rescue Alice from an underground Russian Umbrella outpost run by the Red Queen who has taken over the rest of Umbrella. Wesker returns in the sixth film, '' Resident Evil: The Final Chapter'', having betrayed Alice and killed everyone at the White House. Guided by the Red Queen, Alice returns to the Hive where Umbrella has developed a potent antivirus. In a confrontation in the Hive, Alicia Marcus fires Wesker, enabling the Red Queen to crush his legs with a blast door, trapping Wesker. Before leaving to chase Doctor Alexander Isaacs, Alice primes the detonator for the explosives she planted around the Hive and leaves it in Wesker's hand. Wesker eventually dies of blood loss, causing him to lose his grip on the detonator. Without Wesker holding the detonator, Alice's explosives destroy the Hive, killing everyone within including Alicia Marcus, the Umbrella High Command and thousands of others held in stasis. In the reboot film '' Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City'' (2021), Wesker is played by

as a police officer at Raccoon Police Department and secondary antagonist while being considerably more sympathetic. In addition, Wesker is also the Captain of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team. Before the events of the film, he was approached by a mysterious woman (revealed to be Ada Wong in a post-credits scene) who asks him to do a job behind his fellow teammates' back - find a research lab belonging to Dr. William Birkin of Umbrella. During the raid on the Arkley Mansion, Birkin and Wesker shoot each other over the G-virus resulting in Wesker getting shot and presumably killed by his partner Jill Valentine. A remorseful Wesker pleads to her to get out before Umbrella destroys Raccoon City to cover up it's experiments. During the post-credit scene, Wesker is then reanimated by Ada by a retrovirus.
