Kevin Durand joins the cast of RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION. CBM fans will recognize Durand from his roles in X-MEN Origins: Wolverine, LOST, and I Am Number Four. Durand is accompanied by series rookie Johann Urb, whose best known for his role in the ABC series Eastwich. Although no information about Durand's role has been released, Urb will reportedly play a Resistance leader who fights alongside Alice in her battle against the Umbrella Corporation.
Director Paul W.S. Anderson wrote the script this time around, so we should expect an even more ridiculous gory, action filled spectacle.
