\"Resident<\/a>
Ada Wong is one of the latest characters to be plucked from the videogame world for Resident Evil: Retribution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Resident Evil: Retribution<\/em><\/a> is out soon, and it looks like it\u2019s going to up the ante in the \u2018What the heck am I watching?\u2019 stakes. With a whole host of returning characters you thought were dead, and more beloved, appallingly written stars (no pun intended) from the games popping in, it\u2019s looking like yet another beautifully incomprehensible but entertaining mess.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take a massive stretch of the imagination to assume that Paul WS Anderson will have the future of the franchise in mind as he continues to plunder the increasingly batshit Resident Evil<\/em> games to make his endearingly daft films for his wife to star in.<\/p>\n

We take a look at what actors could portray your favourite gibberish spouting villains and heroes in the inevitable sequel, Resident Evil: Revengeance<\/em>\/Pig In The City<\/em>\/Citizens On Patrol<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Krauser<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Jack Krauser<\/strong><\/p>\n

Krauser (one of the best characters in Resident Evil 4<\/em>) is a marvel, a tough as old boots, uncompromising soldier straight out of the movie Commando<\/em>, and Leon S Kennedy\u2019s considerably more alpha nemesis. Krauser is fantastic because he\u2019d be completely ruined if a decent writer got anywhere near him. It\u2019s hard to think of an actor up to the task of emulating this knife-wielding pantomime Adonis, but perhaps Chris Hemsworth would do him justice?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Ramon Salazar<\/strong><\/p>\n

A diminutive Tricorn-wearing little tosser who causes all kinds of grief for the heroic Leon. His right hand comes off. Someone highly detestable would be perfect for this, a snivelling little berk with a highly punchable face and a whiny self-satisfied voice. Why hello Shia LaBeouf!<\/p>\n

\"Merchant<\/a><\/p>\n

3. The Merchant<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one encapsulates the beautiful madness of the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise more than the Merchant, a hoodie-sporting Cockney who \u2013 in a decision that would have Alan Sugar going apoplectic \u2013 decides it\u2019d be good for business to set up shop in the midst of an infected, homicidal Spanish village. It\u2019s a shame they ditched the omnipresent entrepreneur in the infinitely more boring Resident Evil 5<\/em>. He deserves a shot in an upcoming movie, and if there\u2019s any justice they\u2019ll get Ross Kemp for it. He is the thinking person\u2019s Danny Dyer.<\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Mike the helicopter man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh Mike, how little we knew thee. Those versed in the ways of Resident Evil 4<\/em> know Mike, as he provided backup to Leon S Kennedy just as the floppy haired government man was about to get overrun. It was beautiful, Leon taking potshots with his handcannon and Mike blasting away in his chopper. In those brief moments a friendship for life was formed and a celebratory drink planned, only to be snatched away at the last minute by a complete cock with a rocket launcher. For fun, Anderson should get someone ludicrously famous and A-list to portray Mike in his few brief moments, someone with an excellent voice. Maybe Alan Rickman.<\/p>\n

Resident Evil: Retribution<\/em> is in cinemas from 28 September 2012.<\/p>\n
