In the Resident Evil video gaming series, Albert Wesker is a man defined by how cool he looks wearing his trademark sunglasses. With Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City hitting theaters on November 24, let's take a closer look at how the character fits into the new movie.

Wesker is played by Tom Hopper (Umbrella Academy). Considering this movie is following the story of the Resident Evil video game franchise a bit more closely, you would probably expect Wesker to be manipulating things behind the scenes. However, this is a bit more of a origin story for him. Check out the video below for more info.

"Albert Wesker is known in the games to be one of the key villains of the story," says Hopper. "We didn't want him to be a stereotypical villain. We wanted him to be likeable. We're seeing who he really is underneath the sunglasses. It's an origin story that brings that version of Wesker… It really does feel like we're making the movie version of the game."
