Angela Sant’Albano discusses her hopes for Grace Ashcroft after Resident Evil Requiem, including stronger bonds with Leon Kennedy and Emily.
Resident Evil Requiem was the 9th mainline entry in the Resident Evil franchise. It was also the latest chapter in Leon Kennedy’s story. Now, one of the game’s actors is speaking about what they hope to see from the other protagonist in Resident Evil Requiem.
Grace Ashcroft Actor Says She Will Never Be Like Leon
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Resident Evil Requiem actor Angela Sant’Albano said she believes Grace Ashcroft has plenty of room to grow. She also noted that Grace can explore her own growth without needing to become an action hero like Leon Kennedy.
“I don’t think she’ll ever be a Leon character. She’s never going to be badass, you know, doing roundhouse kicks,” she says. “But I do think her courage and her self-esteem will grow the more that she trusts herself and forgives herself for a lot of the things that I think tie her down. So I think there’s a long way to go with her.”
Of course, the actor’s comments don’t guarantee that a future game will include Grace. However, with Requiem’s smash success, Capcom may want to explore more of the story in the future. Capcom not only sees success with its most recent Resident Evil release, but many of its remakes also continue to sell well.
The Resident Evil franchise is also performing well beyond video games. The recent Zach Cregger Resident Evil film made at least $400 million dollars worldwide.
