Over the last few weeks, we’ve brought you all things Resident Evil that we could get our hands on via the lovely Milla Jovovich. Yesterday, we brought you some cool videos from behind the scenes of Milla herself wielding some firearms, along with some cast introductions at the first table read for Resident Evil: Retribution.
One such cast member was newcomer Johann Urb, whose role in the film was until now a mystery. Jovovich took to Twitter to reveal that Urb will be portraying the big screen version of Leon Kennedy.
Jovovich said,
“AND if u checked out my vid yesterday from the table reading u wld hve noticed Johann Urb! He is our Leon Kennedy n looks jst like him BTW!!”
You can watch the vids she’s talking about HERE!
What do you think? Check out the side-by-side of Urb and the video game version of Leon Kennedy below.
Pretty good likeness, no?
