When the trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island released this past April, fans immediately noticed something odd. Death Island finally brings the full cast of Resident Evil heroes together for one big, Avengers-style team-up, while merging the look and style of the film series with the character designs of the recent Resident Evil remakes. The film features Chris, Claire, Leon, Jill, and Rebecca all working together to stop a new threat on Alcatraz Island, but when you see all the characters together, it’s apparent that they aren’t all aging at the same rate.
Death Island takes place in 2015, 17 years after the Arklay Mountains Outbreak and the Raccoon City Incident. This put all of the characters in their late 30s or early 40s. Both Leon and Chris have aged significantly. Leon looks a lot older than his Resident Evil 2 counterpart - especially the version from the remake, where you clearly see the lines in Chris’ face that reveal his many years fighting Umbrella. Jill, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to have aged a day from Resident Evil 3 Remake, and both Claire and Rebecca appear similarly untouched by the ravages of time.
